Selma highlights hypocrisy on voting rights, Democrats say

"The reason why our country was in the situation that they were in during the civil rights movement is because they didn't want to do anything. They were prepared to just ride it out; they didn't want to take any risk, any chance," said Rep. Marc Veasey (D-Texas), who was the lead plaintiff in the challenge to his state's voter identification laws.

That's how Republicans look now, Veasey said, but "they have the chance to change that perception."
