Debra Bowen Floor Speech

She's a rock star. She's going to receive the "Profile in Courage" award from Ted Kennedy this year. We really couldn't have a better evangelist for the right to vote and election integrity than Debra Bowen.

What I like about Debra is that she's focused like a laser on her core issue, and can explain it in a very lucid way. She has the ability to change the conversation about election reform. And I'm glad she's admitted the mistakes about LA County and the double bubble system and how she can learn from those and other mistakes.

Bowen makes a great point about how she has not taken a position on the election and how she should never have a role in the campaign of any election where she has to certify the results.

"I would like to see in my lifetime an automatic registration system and everyone able to cast a ballot in the manner than is most convenient for them." A very warm reception for Debra.
