The largest margin since Selma, because they understood that voter suppression is a threat to the heart of our democracy and to every progressive ideal and policy we care about. It is a threat to the legacy and the future of our children and grandchildren. Let me conclude by appealing to history. A moral tradition upon whose death and strength we deal. This is supposed to be a country made up of people for the people by the people. More than a century ago, our ancestors saw fit and necessary to assert the 15th amendment. No one shall do not or abridge the right to vote. This imperfect project did not end there. ..Religious traditions speak strongly about the disenfranchisement of minorities and the poor, the prophet Isaiah said well under those who legislate evil and rob the poor of their rights.
