Removing party affiliation from ballot hurts minorities...

Post by Pwns »

Un-freaking-believable. :shock:

The Justice Department prevented the 2008 referendum change, arguing in part that “the elimination of party affiliation on the ballot will likely reduce the ability of blacks to elect candidates of choice.”
The ACLU, which had intervened on the side of the defendants “on behalf of the North Carolina State Conference of the NAACP and six minority residents,” cheered the decision, saying it affirms the importance of protecting minority voting rights.
Just confirms what many already know of the sanctimonious demagoguing of the race issue by democrats and the left. :ohno:

Can't make voters show I.D. because that could be "racist" (???????), but requires ballots to show "party affiliation" to protect "minority voting rights".

Bullfuckingshit.

Any wonder why Conks consider Donks are lacking integrity?

Lie, cheat, break the law...

...anything to win.

This way the minorities don't even have to be able to read. Just have to be able to recognize the (D) after the name.

doesn't matter. Once Obama can't run anymore 75% of them won't even bother to vote again unless a black man is running, excuse, a black DEMOCRAT. :coffee:

If you can't figure out what Party the candidiate you want to vote for is affiliated with, you shouldn't be voting.

We need poll tests. We really do. You should have to pass a test demonstrating some basic, rudimentary understanding of what's going on before you're allowed to vote.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?
