Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown joins Jennifer Granholm to discuss the Justice Department’s actions in Florida, when the department stepped in to enforce voting rights. Brown calls the department’s actions “very significant,” saying Bush never would have been president if the voter rolls hadn’t been purged of eligible voters in the 2000 election. “The justice department has frankly been asleep,” Brown says. “I maintain that we ought to use every element of the law that we can in order to make sure that no one becomes comfortable trying to discourage people from voting… We ought to be about trying to encourage people in the process.”
