Franken asks if ~anyone~ on the panel has evidence of millions of fraudulently case votes in this election. Silence from the panel.
Graham's counter to Franken's question, asks panelists to speak up if there are NO fraudulent votes cast. No one speaks up at first.
Brooks then speaks up, saying there are so few cases of voter fraud that it is basically zero.
Graham questions why GOP gets bad NAACP scores, while Dems get good scores. Graham says it's odd, adds, "It speaks for itself."
"Maybe we're all wrong, you're all right," Graham adds, but says that he doesn't think so.
Brooks, re: Sessions & voting suppression. "We have no way to be confident ... that he would do all that is necessary" to protect the vote.
Larry Thompson, on the Shelby County #SCOTUS voting rights decision: "I'm not that familiar with that case."
Hirono is up for questioning, raising the fact that DOJ has litigated to challenge voting laws under Holder/Lynch. Asks about Sessions.
Brooks: "Based on [Sessions'] record, we have no reason to believe it would be a priority."
Swadhin notes Sessions was one of a minority of the Republican Party to oppose VAWA reauthorization.
ACLU legal director David Cole: "Our country's democracy depends upon a protection of the freedom of the press."
