14. Tthat's right...
10 hour lines filled with blacks who didn't really want to vote is the problem.

Many people have jobs, and many can be fired for even leaving to go vote in the first place. And good luck getting a lawyer if it happens. They will jsut say it's for something unrelated ("No, this person had a bad attitude and its not related to their going to vote at all! Why all my firends are negros!") Happens all the damn time.

The fact is that we have data showing the reduction in turnout in areas of similar ethnic nad economic makeup with differing voting standards that show clearly how these methods and others, targeting blacks in droves, have reduced the eficacy of the black vote and turnout of voters in black precincts.

People are scared to call this what it is...becuase htey don't want another unstable period of inflamed racial division. This is a lot like the MSM who doesn't cover the reality of hte fraud becuase they don't want another a 2000 florida. The facts are as they are. Not paying attention doesn't make it any less so.
