NO!! It is NOT economic warfare!!!! What part of that is not clear.

The republicans are elected by POOR WHITE PEOPLE! When reviewing the polls ALWAYS remember that he who gets the bigger chunk of the minority votes will look to have the most poor people votes---then look at the white votes. And visa versa. So --- if you looked at any state with a greater than 10% minority population movement in the poll in an economic direction is reflective of race.

Yes there is. But when it comes to voting---they cannot afford to target anyone white because they are counting on too great a percentage of their votes!

For every 100 white voters they caged out of voting they could lose 60 votes. For every 100 black voters they caged out of voting they would lose 10.

I think they can. The poor white vote varies by region. Poor white males in rural areas are overwhelmingly Republican. Poor white males, from blue states, in heavy union and urban areas are Dems

This is the sort of thing that really angers me. It is November. It is cold. It is dark. It is raining. And yet african americans in order to exercise their right to vote are expected to stand for hours in this unclimate weather to vote.

THEN----racist bastards run around playing dumb as dirt and claiming that this is not 'institutionalized' it is NOT about race.

This is NOT about economics---not even sort of! Where are the videos of the poor white being subjected to this treatment to vote?

Whole counties all over this nation are poor whites ---- wouldn't it be easy as hell to subject them to such vote suppressing behaviors? Put 1 voting machine in the county and make them drive for ever to vote.

WHY do people try to cover such racist behaviors with such ridiculous assertions!

Of course I may be totally wrong. I'll should wait until Richter produces all this evidence of the 100% economic thing.

100% given that the US population has about 40 times more white poor than black poor (I am guessing at the figure) --- should mean that there must be PLENTY of examples.

Bigger Than Watergate -

The Bush-Cheney operatives sent hundreds of thousands of letters marked "Do not forward" to voters' homes. Letters returned ("caged") were used as evidence to block these voters' right to cast a ballot on grounds they were registered at phony addresses. Who were the evil fakers? Homeless men, students on vacation and Get This American soldiers and Marines. Oh yeah: most of them are Black voters.

Why weren't these African-American voters home when the Republican letters arrived? The homeless men were on park benches, the students were on vacation --- and the soldiers were overseas. Go to Baghdad, lose your vote. Mission Accomplished.

Could---maybe --- sure----BUT THEY DON'T--- which is the point!

Okay---then there should be PLENTY of examples in white urban areas where these sorts of voting discrepancies occur.

Take a state like Iowa--- where there is little to no black population. OR take the white philadelphia precincts. Can you provide an example of voter suppression in these areas?

DanS.

I haven't looked into it at all to be honest. My only point is that it wouldn't be hard to separate poor white dems from poor white republicans.

The YouTube video shows how white precincts were not targeted in Ohio.

38% of union worker voted for Bush in 2004. Only 11% of his voters were black.

Would you risk that large a percentage of your votes?
