Bernie Sanders actually said...

"We cannot allow Republican governors and legislators to deny African Americans and young people and Latinos the right to vote."

"There is no issue more important to me and to most of my colleagues than the need to take on this ugly voter suppression and to defend American democracy."

"In the last 21 elections, in 19 case, the opposition party has won seats. We can`t lose seats. If you want to gain control of the House and Senate, do something bold that helps working families."

"the only way we are going to go forward to protect American democracy, to give people in states all over this country a fair shot at electing who they want is by passing that bill."
