and not a single person who supports these measures can point to, quote, the massive fraud or the quote, persistent problems that these pieces of suppressive legislation seek to address. i think it s absolutely strategic. i think that s why people need to say no, no, no and say yes, yes, yes to voting. and is there a political strategic element to president obama raising this issue over and over, trying to rally minority voters to the polls who do vote democratic? i think it s bigger than simply rallying people of color to the polls. i think it s the president standing up to defend the essence of the constitution. i think it s the president standing up saying that a nation, that fights wars in afghanistan and iraq to quote promote democracy, can t retrench a democracy here at home. i think that s what it is. we have been hearing all week from our viewers around the country talking about their struggles getting to the polls.
