 With the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, the Senate has an opportunity to reinvigorate one of the most important pieces of legislation in American history. I've been here a few years. I can actually remember and I'll bet Senator Leahy could too. This was a big bipartisan issue. Over the years, Democrats and Republicans voted the same way on the Voting Rights Act. In the words of Senator Mitch McConnell, quote, when he voted for it once, this is a piece of legislation which has worked. I think he's right. Let's keep it working. In our nation, there is no freedom more fundamental than the right to vote. And as our old friend John Lewis said before his passing, it's the most powerful, nonviolent tool we have. Our democracy is strongest when every eligible voter votes.
