Doug Jones in CBS "Face the Nation" interviews during 2019

On Civil Rights: We should be encouraging voting, not making it harder

It's a political power grab right now where people are trying to gerrymander districts, where people are trying to prevent the right to vote, [to prevent giving] them free access to the vote. We need to be expanding the voter rolls and trying to get people to the vote. We need to be pushing the percentage of Americans up who want to vote on Election Day and instead we seem to be working and the powers that be seem to be constricting that. And I think we've got to change that. Source: CBS Face the Nation 2019 interview Mar 3, 2019
