How low can the Democrats go with the white vote? Georgia = 23%

Starved of white voters, Tuesday night was 2010 redux for Democrats

At the root of the Democratic problem is the party’s lack of appeal among white voters, or – some Democrats might argue – the ease with which Republicans can take advantage of Georgia’s racially polarized politics.. . .

The answer, under those calculations, is that Democrats won approximately 23 percent of the white vote on Tuesday night. Which is about what Roy Barnes did in 2010. Nunn and Carter needed 30 percent of the white vote to be viable.

For a party whose viability is based on a biracial coalition, that’s a serious chasm — not just for 2016, but 2018 as well.​

Yeah ... just like DMV driving "restrictions" keeps them from driving.

And cashing their checks at the local liquor stores..

I live in a state with no ID needed for voting, but with the electronic voter roll they are using, you must show ID for it to read the bar code to see if you are registered..

I am shocked the Libs aren't fighting the fact that voters need to be registered.
