.@KamalaHarris in her keynote speech at the NAACP convention: "Let's say this loud and clear: without voter suppression, Stacey Abrams would be the governor of Georgia, Andrew Gillum is the governor of Florida."

At the NAACP meeting, @KamalaHarris calls for "a new Voting Rights Act" that includes automatic voter registration and Election Day as a national holiday.

"We need to fight back against Republicans who suppress our constitutional right to vote."

Harris at NAACP meeting calls the criminal justice system "deeply flawed, infected with bias...65 years since Emmett Till, 52 years since three young black men were killed at the Algiers Motel, seven years since Trayvon Martin. This is still everyday life for young black people."

Kamala Harris's speech is packed with attacks on Trump. On education: "We have a president who would rather give a teacher a gun than give a teacher a raise."

On Charlottesville: "This guy in the White House said neo-Nazis were fine people."

.@KamalaHarris, critiquing the conversation on "electability" at NAACP convention, says: "We cannot get dragged into simplistic narratives or yesterday's politics."

"Yesterday's politics" is an interesting turn of phrase when the frontrunner is an 8-year VP and 36-year senator.
