BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CORREA. Madam Speaker, today I rise in strong support of the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

Today across the Nation, States are eliminating same-day voter registration, reducing voting times, and limiting the availability of polling places. These changes essentially make it harder for our friends and neighbors to vote.

This bill is a simple bill. It ensures that all legally cast ballots are counted. It ensures that the voices of Americans are louder than those of special interests.

I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
