I think it could backfire. And I think that’s why you saw the Republican legislative leader in California say that he’s not a fan of mid-decade redistricting.

If Trump is going to throw out the rule book, then we will fight fire with fire.

He wants to be the 'commander-in-cheat.' He wants to cheat on America, cheat on democracy, steal these congressional seats.

We are not going to let a tradition in the U.S. Senate get in the way of our constitutional rights to vote, and we need the Senate to act.

Texans are fed up. ... That is not going to deter us. That is only going to make us stronger. That is only going to give us more resolve. And we will continue to fight.

We`re going to stay here and defend democracy and I think at this juncture everybody knows we`ll put all of our tools on the table.

We should not have a tradition or a rule or a relic of Jim Crow, you know, actually take center stage for our voting rights and our U.S. Constitution.

I think it is becoming increasingly clear the Republicans want to hijack elections right? We saw it with the big lie and now we`re seeing states moving to change the way you vote in your state.

We should only have one standard and that is the American standard.

Our job was to rally the nation and bring people to Washington DC because just by chance, if we came together, we would not only get the Senate to hear us. We will also get them to act.

Our job was to rally the nation, and our job was to rally the nation and bring people to Washington, D.C. because just by chance if we came together, we would not only get the Senate to hear us. We would also get them to act.

Recess can wait. Our democracy cannot. This is a now-or-never moment for our country.

This is a now or never moment for our democracy in this country. And we are going to keep pushing the U.S. Senate, to give us, just one standard order when it comes to voting in this country and that is an American standard.

My response is the governor had 140 days of a regular session to take care of the people’s business. And he failed to do so, that’s the responsibility he’s going to have to bear.

You know what? It`s okay. It is for democracy so it`s worth it.

We have courage, conviction and a little bit of defiance. And we’re here today to rally the nation. And we hope that the U.S. Senate will hear us.

The only way to solve this problem, senators, the only way to solve this problem is for the United States Senate to pass something like the For the People Act, to back stop voting rights at the federal level.

Not a single member on this bus wants any one in the United States Senate to go home thinking everything is fine with voting rights in America.

They are trying to take away our right to vote and we`re not going to put up with it and we`re going to fight.

We want the Senate to hear us and we want them to act, and we need them to pass the For the People Act to preserve democracy in this country.

We are here as free citizens exercising our First Amendment rights to organize.

We have to stand up for our democracy.

Democracy is in jeopardy and we must do whatever we can to save it.

Texas does a very good job of criminalizing voter -- criminalizing voting. And what we need to do is we need to make sure that we shine a bright light on it.
