As I stated, I don't know who they were, and unlike you, I'm not willing to speculate on everything just for the sake of posting an opposite opinion. The Republican secretary of state there claims the 40,000 registrations have been found, but there is no evidence of that in the hands of those who registered. Further, The “Republican whip of the state Senate complained that DeKalb County, Ga., was making it too easy for minorities to vote by allowing early voting in an area mall close to many predominantly African-American churches,” according to a report in Think Progress. As I have stated, this is just one of many instances in which Republicans are trying to chill turnout and the vote because the demographics are not going their way. Is a proportionally similar number of early voting places being set up in area malls close to predominately white communities or churches? Bet you don't know. In Texas, specifically, not. But these satellite voter registration facilities typically are set up in neighborhood centers near where there are low-income communities with little access to private transportation, so that more people can be registered and encouraged to vote. Recently, though, states run by Republicans have cut way back on these facilities and on early voting because these activities register more blacks and other minorities and increase minority voting. There's no other reason for what the GOPers are doing. Texas is beginning to turn "purple" from red, and these efforts to chill the vote are aimed at slowing that trend. -- A vote for any Republican is a vote AGAINST: Social Security, Medicare, Minimum Wage, Fair Pay, Food Stamps, Clean Air and Water, Modest Gun Regulations, Public Schools, Rebuilding Infrastructure and Good Jobs, Women's Rights, Veterans’ Rights, LGBT Rights, and, of course, Your Right to Vote. |
