“Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) may have found the solution to Democrats’ woes at the polls this November. In a Labor Day C-SPAN appearance, the civil rights leader appeared to endorse “sexting” as a new way to get people out to vote.

“Use the tools that we have,” he told an elderly caller concerned about the shooting of Michael Brown. “We’ve got great tools to communicate about everything else. We can text — what do we call it? Sexting. Let’s do some voting, organizing over the Internet. We’ve got the tools. Let’s use them for a new massive movement that will make sure that we can have in November 2014 the kind of turnout at the polls that we had in 2012 in November.”
