“There has never been in my life­time, since we got rid of the poll tax and all the Jim Crow bur­dens on vot­ing, the deter­mined effort to limit the fran­chise that we see today.

“They [Repub­li­cans] are try­ing to make the 2012 elec­torate look more like the 2010 elec­torate than the 2008 elec­torate,” Clin­ton added, ref­er­enc­ing the dip in youth voter turnout in the 2010 elec­tions. “Are you fight­ing? You should be fight­ing it.”.
