SEN. LUJAN: "Our democracy faces clear and present dangers posed by Republican-led state legislatures across the country. Some lawmakers want to curtail the right to vote not for all Americans, but for the most vulnerable and historically disenfranchised."
"History will not look kindly on inaction at this critical moment, and we must show the American people that we will not flinch when faced with a choice to protect our democracy or let it crumble before our eyes."
Sen. Luján, highlighting the Native American Voting Rights Act included in the legislation: "We cannot allow voter suppression to continue in South Dakota or anywhere in Native America. These are American citizens whose rights are being restricted for partisan advantage."
LUJAN: The GOP is "going to change the rules to keep certain communities from voting, making it harder for people to get to that ballot box. This is nothing new. And shame on all of us for not acting when SCOTUS told us this in 2013. That's on all of us. But we're here today."
