Her talk wasn't covered, but it's been described on CNN as "fiery" - directly addressing Jeb Bush and his SuperPAC. I'm sure highlights, if not the entire transcripts, will be available sometime soon.

(99,717 posts)Will he remind the predominantly black audience that he scrubbed the voter rolls in 2000 and in that scrubbing a lot of eligible black voters were prohibited from voting in the 2000 election?

(67,782 posts)...from the voter rolls, and big brother won Florida by a mere 500 votes.
Had he not disenfranchised those 65,000 I'm sure Gore would have won by THOUSANDS of votes.
