we held hearings in states like alabama, north carolina, ohio, north dakota, south dakota, georgia, florida and texas and heard from voters firsthand. witnesses there attested to other things, having to wait in long lines to check ballots, being denied by language assistances at the polls, being denied disability at the polls, having to restore registration status after an illegal purge, undertaking onerous barriers to restore their voting rights after a conviction, having to stand up to last minute changes, hours of operation and voter intimidation. the reports capture the impact of voter id laws, cuts to early voting with increasingly fierce polling places and ever-changing locations which present a significant burden for those without easy access to transportation or in flexible work schedules. results were clear. since the loss of federal oversight in the post-shelby era voters across the country are confronted with renewed barriers to casting a ballot. we documented these in a soon-to-be released report, the need for congressional action to secure the right to vote. includes testimonie
