My name is Rev. Terrillin Cunningham. My name is Moses Colbert and I've been voting since I was 18 years old, and now I'm 61 years old. My name is Dale Hicks. I was deployed for one year to Afghanistan. My name is Quisha Mallette. In 2014 I moved to go to school, but last fall I wasn't allowed to vote. My vote did not count. My vote did not count. My vote did not count. There's never been a more emotional night on the floor of the North Carolina House of Representatives. I looked at some of the African-American members of our caucus with tears in their eyes that night who saw their work of 50 years being upended. This bill, 589, came out of literally the darkness of the night. There's no question in my mind that 589 was passed to discourage not only African Americans but minorities as a whole from exercising the right to vote. I call it voting intimidation and vilification, which is actually what it was. I mean, it was awful. It cut out same-day registration, it cut out out-of-precinct voting, it cut back on early voting. When I asked the question why do you want this legislation, there's never any answer. It's a new Jim Crow. They don't want people of color to vote. The only way to retain power is to keep those folks from voting. I'm like, no, this can't happen in 2014. Not in America. But it did.
