Kamala Harris: Democrats Need To Be “Ruthless,” Make This Election “Too Big To Rig”
At the National Urban League convention on Friday, former Vice President Kamala Harris called on Democrats to be “ruthless” in getting the vote out and make the midterm election “too big to rig.”
FORMER VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS: So I think part of it is we’ve got to think about now, and I was talking to this young woman about this, now when they have destroyed the infrastructure we built over decades and had in place with the Voting Rights Act for 50 years, how are we going to achieve the goal when that infrastructure has been destroyed? And we’re gonna have to be creative. Part of it is these midterms are coming up and it will make a decision about who at least rules the Senate, I mean the House, if not the Senate. And so we have to do the work of telling people right now, check your voter registration status, make sure you aren’t one of those people whose names got purged inappropriately. Make sure you’ve checked on your polling place because they’ve been playing games around moving the polling place where your grandparents always voted and so on election day when they go to that elementary school down the block they might find that that polling place is closed. Registering folks to vote and having an agenda that is about turning out the vote in the greatest numbers we have ever seen so that in light of and in this environment where they are cheating, we will be too big to rig. Too big to rig. It means being ruthless. They are ruthless. We need to be.
