Jennings is a lifelong Democrat, and she worries this might embarrass him.
The avuncular Senator smiles back and tells her that's beside the point.
Exercising her constitutional right in whatever way she sees fit, that's important.
That's exactly the point.

She's the first of 11 million US citizens between the ages of 18 and 21 to register to vote.
But for Ella, the registration isn't about politics.
She'll later recall, I was honored to do it because my brother had been killed in Vietnam and he had not been able to register to vote.
So I feel like it was something that I did for him too.
