4:27Now PlayingDemocratic lawmakers are fighting the good fight to protect voting rights.
They took to the hill on Thursday to testify on the fast-changing voting rights in their states. The civil rights and civil liberties subcommittee held a hearing called "Democracy in Danger: The Assault on Voting Rights in Texas." This year, 19 states have passed restrictive voting laws in what's being called the largest attack on voting rights since Jim Crow. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee was among a group who were arrested on Capitol Hill as civil rights groups continue to push for voting rights legislation. BNC's Rarione Maniece joins "BNC Live" with the latest on the call to action.
