Interview With George Stephanopoulos of ABC This Week
“I was asked to make the case for why we needed to take action, but the President always maintained the prerogative as to when or what he might decide to do. And I think the President’s made a very courageous and right, correct decision with respect to asking the Congress to weigh in, because the United States is much stronger when we act in unity.”- Sec.

“This summer, however, the Supreme Court invalidated a core
provision of the Voting Rights Act in a case called Shelby County v.
Holder. Prior to that ruling, certain
states and localities with a history of voting discrimination were required to
obtain federal permission, or “preclearance,” before implementing any voting
changes. But, as a result of the Court’s
recent ruling, those states and localities are no longer required to seek
permission before changing their voting rules and practices.”
