      N.C.'s monster voter suppression law was exactly the type of law the Voting Rights Act was meant to combat. Congress must #RestoreTheVRA.

      Because #SCOTUS gutted the VRA: NC voters couldn't vote in 2014 or the 2016 primary. They'll never get those elections back. #RestoreTheVRA

      Racial discrimination in voting continues to plague our election system. #SCOTUS disagreed in 2013. Now, we need Congress to #RestoreTheVRA.
