    Brown was near tears when we spoke. Saying her nephew had to wait 6hrs to vote on Friday during early voting. "We have got to stop making voting a traumatic damn experience for black voters," said Brown.

    As I was asking @maziehirono questions just now, she looked right at @SenateMajLdr as he was passing in Ohio Clock corridor outside Senate chamber, and said: “Do the right thing!” Cornyn chuckled a little. Hirono’s staffers were visibly taken aback.
