Conveni convenings. this is a signal of what an administration attaches priority to. the fact this is the first time it is happening, july of 2018, suggests there isnt a lot of urgency that president trump feels about this issue. >> better late than never? >> i suppose better late than never. as americans, as people who cherish our democracy, the right to vote, have our vote mean something, earlier would have been the best. >> ned price, thank you for coming on. appreciate it. anita and betsy, h...
