But when there's a question of the integrity of our elections, when there's a question of the sanctity of the ballot, when there's a question of the democracy in our country, that puts the election at a higher stake, one that we must win and win in a way that is unifying, respectful of all views. Whoever wins is president and vice president of the United States, not of the Democratic Party or the Republican Party, but also that recognizes differences, the beauty of differences of opinion in our country.
