By being greetings on the topic with Voter Registration with selfgovernment to rely on engaging all citizens to build a better politics to exercise their right to vote the matter put a cast of ballot for. That is why i enjoy a new with automatic Voter Registration to get a drivers license actions like this utterly make it easier but also in the 21st century helping to build a democracy for all. And i wish you all the best. Barack obama. [applause] the key is to speak after brock a bomb in righty get before the attorney general in person. And his tumbling to introduce one of the attorney generals by rattling off olive is accomplishments with the terrorism convictions standing up for lgbt a quality the conscious of the department the Civil Rights Division of was excited to do this today gives an opportunity of part of the legacy that he does not get credit for in the face of new obstacles and challenges. And a sale like that to remind the attorney general the Supreme Court issued the decision now the attorney general was protecting for the stewardship that those motor voter law as word minister and and forced to to stand up for those military voters but in one of the darkest hours of right to vote of the last half century i saw how determined the attend clandestine attorney general was to make one thing very clear that we were not going back so within minutes of the decision being issued the attorney general was on every Television Network making clear his intention to shift resources to one of the most remaining provisions, as section two and his commitment to utilize other parts of the law and didnt take long that it was more than just a policy statement rather to challenges to most of restrictive laws we have seen in some time to the cutbacks of early voting. But protecting the right to vote was never a backward to looking exercise. He understood the system needed the 21st century of day that in a country like ours we could lead not justify five hourlong lines to the lower people not being able to vote because they missed a deadline or were confused after they moved. Politicians should not be picking voters but the of a rare round and it doesnt mean they cant come up with a new way to restrict the franchise. On almost every single location rather than congress or others, he called for a modern update them rested on three pillars of the antideceptive practices, and automatic Voter Registration and. One thing i always appreciated was his ability to use modern technology of frances and analytics while pushing back on the common excuse to do nothing and no one is better to do that than a former prosecutor. We cannot have invited day better speaker. Mr. Attorney general. [applause] i have to say it is of pleasure to be here when i found out she was introducing me we go way back selected of when any number of ways. [laughter] thanks for those kind words of a bite to discuss the issue that i believe threatens the integrity of this great nation and puts in future welfare of our country in the light to suggest some ways we could make it the promise of our democracy so 50 years after the passage of the most difficult and civilrights legislation of the Voting Rights act of the most basic american rights, the right to vote to is under siege. But it is the basic rate without which all others on our reading less. There is a movement that makes it more difficult and i that factually inaccurate and disconnected Supreme Court decision that would bear my name and that really purposes me off. [laughter] so with every talk about that case does never say a Shelby County versus walter gsa Shelby County. [laughter] but i hope when eric carr led is confirmed will have set some type of president we will go back and change the name that is my requirement for confirmation of. [laughter] but i ate there are two of many that tried to hearted make it too difficult for those people to express their views. , a researcher with the basic progression every person attempting to vote has to show he or she is to they claim to be. But there has so its been a component before you cast a ballot. It is this fairly restricted. It was more restricted as has been mandated. In the nature of the flock to be eliminated with false identification floating. There is at issue than it should be concerned and almost erotically that have begun to believe it is real but in person voter fraud is extremely rare in the penalty that a group of people might affect somehow holding themselves out nothing exponentially the explosion but no such detective. And to impersonate another person to use that powerball analogy is struck by lightning 2531 cases of all of those cast 31 out of 1 billion. People grounded in the facts what is the problem . Is it consequential put the serious negative collateral consequences that they actually do the opposite to keep people away from the polls. But that could be the basis for the push but sadly one party the to shortterm political expediency to put itself on the wrong side of history with the assessment of that effort but the houston chronicle, the Texas Republican Party it is an article of religious faith that causes us to lose elections. That he does not agree with that or requiring total ids cause enough legitimate with those votes. And leave this to the few issues to help their romney carry this state. Friday to win the state of pennsylvania. And strict unforgivable floating on the port. Under the texas state law that was not to be adequate proof but concealed the weapons permit and attending a party caucus with the effective state voter identification longest so lets be frank. Then with that philosophy that if he cannot beat them then change the rules. Making it more difficult for those individuals with a republican in candidates to vote but even winning the majority of votes but elections can be effective. And then to decrease the votes of the young people. A recent study conducted and that disproportionate effect at the denver credit voters. And that led team node decrease turned up by 10 it in the participation gap with people of color. And that was voter fraud. And the Census Bureau reported in 2008 election of the 75 million adult citizens 16 or registered so there were not eligible to cast a ballot. At the lbj library is still sound it is not a privilege and with the Current System with the cumbersome of Voter Registration rules with the state and local officials with the crush of new applications most of the hand written and so they estimate eight is a valid. And then to the treaty first century. And with those citizens to vote a list of all a joke eligible residents of each jurisdiction. Is that registrants. And West Virginia also passed a similar lot. Id to be implemented said dmv the chief Government Agency these needed reforms have 50 million eligible voters to save money for what is necessary for the system. Also addressing the fact was that of nine americans moved every year the Voter Registration in many wouldbe voters dont realize and their location but they should Work Together to establish the program of the registration so they can vote on the election day but i take we should implement this failsafe procedures by allowing every voter to cast a ballot on election day. Several states a 40 taken the steps and showed with those Percentage Points but also save precious taxpayer dollars but despite the benefits is a those hurdles will lead to voter fraud let me be clear. That is not acceptable but as i learned early in my career as a prosecutor in the Public Integrity section to be investigated it is real and that is simply not likely. And we must exercise that ability of the integrity of the election system to advance what is necessary to achieve this. And willing to demand fact based intentions and Solutions Politicians under which they are affected and to strengthen further protection and restoring of the voter rights act and they can bring about a meaningful change for the leadership of these issues and it has done much since then with those of their voting enhancements through public education. So stakeout to raise awareness calling on the Political Party and works to achieve by appealing to more voters. Into reevaluate and perform them away of that participation to make it easier to vote so why is it tied to a single tuesday november . Expand the days so many fellow citizens can choose between casting about it and keeping their jobs. Increase the number of polling places that people can participate. Or nor should we sure could sacred responsibility with the promise of the Voting Rights act america was the first nation with a purpose and to do justice for the last two centuries the fulfillment of backs of protest and declarations of war and peace in certainly government of iran by the people today there are competing visions our government should before word that is what the democratic process is all about. And letting the people char therell course to help people establish such a process to order the democracy demand through all barriers to voting in all political backgrounds must share with a sacrifice you must remain diligent and other basic and important rights. I believe they are shameful for what defines us and what makes this exceptional and a gamble for all the world with part of americas history compels us to the franchisee must never forget the purpose that is centuries ago inspired our nations founding must inspire us for word. In with those divisions of our time. And the pursuit of a more perfect union. With the voting right is not only a legal issue but a moral imperative. Have less challenging every way possible to undermine our democracy with the covenant and people. In to struggle and we ought to read through with the right to vote. [applause] award different vision for our country inbetween our side of the democrats our progress for prosperity man the presumptive nominee on the republican side. We will live in Space Education and or common core bring it down we want is a local. We will win with health care. We will win at the border. We have got to redefine what politics means in america. We need people from coast to coast standing up and fighting back to the mandate government that represents all of us not just a 1 .
