Clark speaks on The Right to Vote, The CT Primary, and Election Integrity.

[Clarkie1]

"It's Tuesday night, the eighth of August and Senator Joe Lieberman has just conceded defeat in the Democratic primary in Connecticut...It's important to have people in the United States Congress who will do their duty, who will challenge the Executive branch...We've got to walk the walk and that means we've got to deliver the votes...what we've got is we've got the integrity of our election process in question. We've got the questions about Florida. We've got the questions about Ohio...Now, I was in politics in Ohio in 2004. I went to see my good friend the mayor of Columbus, Mike Coleman and he told me in October that they'd registered 100,000 new voters, 80% of them were Democrats and he told me then the state…Secretary of State wouldn't put them on the voter rolls. He wanted to force these voters to use provisional ballots and I guess it worked...How can we tolerate a democracy where the right to vote is guaranteed by law but access to voting is restricted? We have to demand a full, fair and free exercise of our right to vote, with every single vote counted...It means standing up for the integrity of our election system and it means looking at new ways like maybe mail voting to be able to improve our ability to bring in the votes...tonight we saw the primary system at work. We saw an incumbent senator defeated...I think what it most validates is the ability of an informed citizenry, energized by an issue to challenge the establishment. Regardless of what party it is, ultimately in this country, ideas communicate if people care enough. And in Connecticut, voters showed they cared enough to challenge the establishment...When the American people are energized, they use it. We can do it. We can take this country back and I believe that's the message of the Connecticut primary. It's up to us. We have the right to vote - let's use that right. Thank you."
