I'm now sorry I gave money to Jennifer Brynner :(

Just watched her totally wimp out on Ohio republican voter suppression, and I'm very sad and pissed at the same time.
I thought this was a progressive in the mold of our states'(Ca.) Barbara Boxer ( because that's whose fundraiser I met her at.) and it turns out she's an out of touch blue dog that thinks the republican scheme to disenfranchise my people is, something "we need all go in a room and get discuss, w/out Parisian agenda." Or some shit like that.

Well....this is not or never will be about cute little chats. This is about breaking the law (VRA) w/ RICO implications, and could be thought of as subversion for trying to rig elections. The facts are out in the open, plain and clear...this is an organized effort on the part of the republican national party and by all republican Governors and their legislatures. We don't need Democrats prancing around the edges of this acting all polite and wonky. ESPECIALLY DEMOCRATS! who could not win many elections w/out it's Black voting block.

This is not some kind of debate,lady. It's about democracy !

She rises to a higher standard by clarifying exactly what the duties are of the Ohio Secretary of State. She clearly answered Ed's questions....demonstrated accurately the failings of our current, republican Ohio SOS, Husted.
State Rep. Turner who also was part of the segment, she effectively articulated the anger we the people have here in Ohio. Bravo to both fine ladies.
