    Voting is not a privilege. It is an inalienable right. This is a modern day poll tax. And it –– like your disgraceful fight to suppress the votes of poor, black, and brown Floridians –– carries forward the dark legacy of Jim Crow.

    I am pleased that confirms that Amendment 4 requires fines, fees & restitution be paid to victims before their voting rights may be restored. Voting is a privilege that should not be taken lightly, and I am obligated to faithfully implement Amendment 4 as it is defined.

    This democracy is only as strong as the voting rights of all our citizens. It's such great news that the House passed to restore the Voting Rights Act and end voter suppression. The Senate should take this up immediately. Sen. McConnell, you listening?

    The U.S. House of Representatives voted to reinstate federal oversight of state election law. The legislation restores the core of the Voting Rights Act and was gavelled in by Rep. John Lewis, who was beaten while demonstrating for voting rights in 1965.
