While you watch it, remind yourselves -- we are the ones referenced in "of, by, and for the people" -- not corporations or other business-entities. These entities are not entitled to vote -- for a reason. They are not the "we" in "We, the people. . ."
. . . .[Republicans have] refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. . . .
The above phrase -- modified just slightly -- is handed to us, from the Declaration that formed this nation. It is both a warning and an exhortation -- to all of us. Sleep not on your rights, lest they, in the passage of time, be no longer yours to freely-exercise.
