DNC Chair: GOP Wants to Bring Back ‘Jim Crow'

Roland Martin asked Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz about the laws in an interview on the African-American network TV One's "Washington Watch" program, according to a transcript from the network:

"If you go back to the year 2000, when we had an obvious disaster and - and saw that our voting process needed refinement, and we did that in the America Votes Act and made sure that we could iron out those kinks, now you have the Republicans, who want to literally drag us all the way back to Jim Crow laws and literally - and very transparently - block access to the polls to voters who are more likely to vote Democratic candidates than Republican candidates. And it's nothing short of that blatant."
