"When you look at how many people vote in general elections, it's just not enough. There's no way that government can work properly if it can't accurately reflect who we are as a nation." The actor @ChrisEvans on the inspiration for @ASP: on.theatln.tc/A6JVSTM #TheAtlanticFest

"I think we are in store for a quadruple train wreck" in regard to the election, @realbobwoodward tells @JeffreyGoldberg. Trump has "set the table in a very dramatic way, saying we're not going to be able to count these votes." #TheAtlanticFest

.@PadmaLakshmi tells @laurnwilliams that she was separated from her parents for two years as a child. After seeing news of children separated from their parents at the border, she decided to work with the ACLU. "It moved something in me in a very visceral way." #TheAtlanticFest
