1. K & R

2. I applaud her on focusing on this and I'm interested in what she'll say.

She has a big megaphone and could really help in propelling this issue to the forefront where it needs to be. In this case, her access to the media, or lack thereof, is a non-issue as far as I'm concerned. The issue trumps that.

9. So much great information in this speech.

Hundreds of thousands of people denied voting. Minorities have to stand in longer lines and have fewer voting booths. Many violations of federal law. In North Carolina in some areas where there's supposed to be one voting booth for every 200 people, in some urban areas there's only one voting booth per 450 people.

Millenials, the most open minded and diverse among us, facing difficulties pre-registeing (at age 16 or 17) and also voting. In Texas (where she's giving the speech) you can't vote with a student id but you can vote with an open carry gun license.

Thanks for this link brooklynite. If anyone can post the entire speech here too, that would be great.
