North Carolina Republicans Escalate Attack on Student Voting | The Nation

Quote:
The GOP-controlled board of elections in Pasquotank County voted to disqualify Montravias King, a senior at historically black Elizabeth City State University, from running for city council, claiming King couldn’t use his student address to establish residency, even though he’s been registered to vote there since 2009. “The head of the county’s Republican Party said he plans to challenge the voter registrations of more students at the historically black university ahead of upcoming elections,” the AP reported.
B/c:

"The Republican Party doesn't want black people to vote

Quote:
“I’m going to be real honest with you, the Republican Party doesn’t want black people to vote if they’re going to vote 9-to-1 for Democrats.”

Well, there isn't. They want to keep Democrats of any color, race or creed from voting.

They may want to keep Democrats from voting, but they are specifically targeting Black Democrats.

The left is saying that there is no racism in the shooting or the Oklahoma man, when the perps posted anti white violent FB blogs saying they had even killed other whites. MSNBC is saying or Al Sharpton is saying that there is no evidence of racism. I guess you pick your hypocrisy.

Al Sharpton says a lot of things that many left-leaning folks don't agree with. Confusing Al Sharpton with "The Left" is like claiming that Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton always agree with each other - it's ridiculously myopic. "The Left" includes a broad spectrum of perspective, generally opposed to the maniacal self-centeredness and avarice advocated by "The Right", but there are still many different perspectives within "The Left". The Democratic Party isn't like the fascist-like Republican Party, where if you say something that's not the precise party line you get labeled a RINO.

Ha! And yet most Republicans claim to be Christians? I want to know what heaven many of them think they are going to with such attitudes. Talk about fooling themselves.

You forgot to add the final few words...."more than once". Fixed it for you.

The NC GOP is convinced there is widespread, yet undetected, voting fraud. If your dumb enough to believe that, you're probably a Republican.

Where's the free voting cards for everyone?

This reform package doesn't expand and protect voting rights, it is intended to suppress voter turnout. I wish Republicans would at least have the balls to admit their agenda, people would at least respect the honesty.
