The Voting Rights Act was, and still is, vitally important to the future of democracy in the United States.

If there's not a major push for the renewal of the Voting Rights Act, many of the advances we've seen in the past two decades will be severely undermined.

I support the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.

No one questions the validity, the urgency, the essentiality of the Voting Rights Act.

Voting rights are constitutional rights.

Suffrage is not a right afforded to everyone. Rather, voting is a privilege in the United States - and a hard-earned privilege at that.
