Black voting down, “Caucasian” voting up, brags a GOP North Carolina press release.

…North Carolina Republicans used their two-to-one edge on electoral boards to slash early voting options and force long lines at the few early voting locations in urban centers like Charlotte, Raleigh, Fayetteville, and Winston-Salem. Unsurprisingly, almost 9 percent fewer African Americans took advantage of early voting than had in 2012.

According to Colin Campbell of the Raleigh-based News & Observer, the North Carolina GOP sent out a press release titled “North Carolina Obama Coalition Crumbling,” citing the decline in African American early voting and the increase in “Caucasian” early voting.

    GOP continues to make this a racial issue,instead of an American issue.There racist wrangling is going to backfire on them,and come back to bite them in the ###! Their racist candidate will lose.The more they try to suppress,the more record numbers of black and Latino voters will vote this year.Your reign is over GOP.The country is going forward as you continue to go backwards.You are obstructionists and bigots,and most of America can now see your true colors.There is a reason that democrats have been in office for 8 years and will be there another 8,but you gop are blind to reality.

    The more names and pictures that get to the DOJ the better.

    The trumpster will have plenty of rigging to explain

    Suppression = poll monitoring? Sorry, the courts said that citizens can actually watch out for instances of election fraud.

      Actually the article posted reads: ‘Increase in “Caucasian” early voting via -9% black voter disenfranchisement’

      Of 400M+ votes. Just 34 were convicted of voter fraud since GWB Jr’s 2000. No vote is cast until HAVA required certified B/C is presented, or a Valid Federal ID.

      You’re mad at your own GOP’s well proven racism. That you’ve feigned isn’t there: North Carolina Republicans used their 2:1 edge on electoral boards to slash early voting options and force long lines at the few early voting locations in urban centers like Charlotte, Raleigh, Fayetteville, and Winston-Salem. Unsurprisingly, almost 9% fewer African Americans took advantage of early voting than had in 2012. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b59a6835903002cae0d3735e071beda10d9938f0fbe0e2adee7621d74876aaf1.jpg

        like I’m telling everyone who says they’re not going to vote, or they don’t like Hillary or trump and are voting for someone else.

        this is the reality of the 2016 elections:

        either Hillary or trump will be sitting in the White House come January –

        which one do you want it to be?

      There is no election fraud except what’s committed by republicans purging Democratic voters from the rolls — and karma is waiting.
