Seven hours is too long

[All On The Line] {NAME} -- The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is central to the legacy of the civil rights movement, and for years it protected voters from having their rights diminished. But today the right to vote is under attack in a way that we have not seen in decades. Here's the latest: some people in Texas reportedly had to wait up to seven hours to vote on Super Tuesday. That is abhorrent and unacceptable. You can draw a direct line from the wait times on Tuesday to two events over the past decade: gerrymandering that locked conservatives into illegitimate power and the Supreme Court's decision to dismantle a key provision of the Voting Rights Act in 2013. We must fight and win to hold politicians responsible for these discriminatory tactics. This fight is core to the values of All On The Line -- we must return power to the people.

And in 2013, the state's legislature was freed up to impose any discriminatory voting tactics it wanted after the Supreme Court blocked the federal government's ability to preemptively stop voter suppression measures. By 2018, the state's gerrymandered legislature had closed roughly 750 polling places -- more than any other state. It is this systemic protection of ill-begotten power -- and the desire to protect that power at all cost -- that we must fight. And the only remedy is a chorus of citizens calling for change.
