How do you fix it? Because the Voting Rights act fixed all that back then. Is there a version today? The Voting Rights act mitigated all of that. Fair. The fact that we had to have the 1970 renewal, the 1975 renewal, the 1982 renewal, the reason we have to keep coming back to it is that those who do not want our voices are never going to stop. So yes, yes, the John Lewis Freedom to Vote act is absolutely essential, but so is a constitutional amendment that further embeds how we see the right to vote. (21:13–21:25)
