ms. dylan, relating to section two of the voting rights act, i think that your position is that section two of the voting rights act requires actual discrimination and basically discriminatory intent before it will be deemed unconstitutional is that correct ? is that your view of section two voting rights act? >> i would say to generalize, yes, it is. >> unless there is discriminatory intent, unless the state legislature says we are about to enact legislation that will discriminate against a group, you do not think that section two applies. >> i disagree with your characterization senator. there are many ways to prove intent other than a blanket statement from a state legislature. >> let me mention that under president trump's attorney general garland, they have filed a number of lawsuits under section two. for example law prohibiting civil groups from providing food or water to people that are standing in line to vote. there was no discriminatory intent. would you have filed that lawsuit again
