A Senator Said Voter Registration Was 'Confusing.' Watch A 12-Year-Old Clear That Up For Him.

[cali]

My home state of North Carolina has been pulling some real shady crap when it comes to voter rights. Enter Madison Kimrey, a 12-year-old girl from Burlington, N.C., who knows way more than me ... and also, apparently, way more than a bunch of state senators and the governor when it comes to the topic of voter rights. Good thing she also knows how to BRING IT.

1. This little darling is right up there with cute kittens and puppies. But she's got one heck of a

powerful punch to carry with her. Watch out as she's going places. Love to watch her.

2. no kidding. just wow. what a powerful speaker she is- at just 12 years old.

5. I literally teared up when she said she was "the next generation of suffragettes" .

[cali]

7. I just LOVED that line.

6. 12? the kid sounds like a genius. what an impressive speech.

[itsrobert]

8. Does she write her own speeches?

It seems she practiced a few times before giving the speech. I don't think that's a bad thing. Just wondering.

12. I doubt she wrote that, but then politicians dont write their own

speeches. I am not sure what difference it makes.

[cali]

17. I don't doubt that she wrote it.

10. From the mouths of babes

What a dynamic young person! She speaks more fluently and more truthfully than many seasoned politicians holding office today.

11. wow, she's so tiny...barely into puberty I would guess, judging by her size...

She looks like one of those amazing kids who get into Harvard at 12 and have a Ph.D barely out of their teens.

Well, THAT made my day!

13. Is this the future of the South?

I certainly hope so.

Thanks for the thread, cali.

18. In 30 years she'll be President

Wow. Just wow. I was a doofus at her age.

20. A friend of mine commented to her husband:

"I think they should let her vote NOW."

He replied, "Hell, I'd vote FOR her now."

[RiffRandell]

21. Right on!

[Uncle Joe]

22. Hey cali, when you're 16 is it legal to get a drivers' liscense in N.C. and operate a 2000+lb

machine with the capability of killing someone.

It's legal here in Tennessee to drive an automobile or truck at 16 if you have a liscense so how can that Senator which Madison Kimrey quoted believe that pre-registering to vote at 16 was "too confusing"?

I thought that's what school was for, to teach.

I hope N.C. reinstates that much needed program, it ought to be nationwide.

Thanks again, for the thread.
