James Lee's testimony
On 17 April, 2001, James Lee testified, before the McKinney panel, that the state had given DBT the directive to add to the purge list people who matched at least 90% of a last name. DBT objected, knowing that this would produce a huge number of false positives (non-felons).[7]

Lee went on saying that the state then ordered DBT to shift to an even lower threshold of 80% match, allowing also names to be reversed (thus a person named Thomas Clarence could be taken to be the same as Clarence Thomas). Besides this, middle initials were skipped, Jr. and Sr. suffixes dropped, and some nicknames and aliases were added to puff up the list.

"DBT told state officials", testified Lee, "that the rules for creating the [purge] list would mean a significant number of people who were not deceased, not registered in more than one county, or not a felon, would be included on the list. DBT made suggestions to reduce the numbers of eligible voters included on the list". According to Lee, to this suggestion the state told the company, "Forget about it".

"The people who worked on this (for DBT) are very adamant... they told them what would happen", said Lee. "The state expected the county supervisors to be the failsafe." Lee said his company will never again get involved in cleansing voting rolls. "We are not confident any of the methods used today can guarantee legal voters will not be wrongfully denied the right to vote", Lee told a group of Atlanta-area black lawmakers in March 2001.[8]

1980s
In 1981 and 1986 the Republican National Committee (RNC) sent out letters to predominately African-American neighborhoods. When tens of thousands of them were returned undeliverable, the party successfully challenged the voters and had them deleted from voting rolls. Due to the violation of the Voting Rights Act, the RNC was taken to court. Its officials entered a consent decree which prohibited the party from engaging in anti-fraud initiatives that targeted minorities or conducting mail campaigns to "compile voter challenge lists."


It is COURT documented fact that republicans have disenfranchised black voters.

This is who the republican party is.

This is one reason I hate the party so much.

 

[Truthmatters]

Not one righty can face these facts huh?

Not one righty can face these facts huh?

So, if these 'facts' are so accurate, how come even the lefties aren't coming in and high fiving you? Perhaps it is because, yet again, all you have demonstrated is that you are, in fact, quite ignorant and well as stupid.

The republican party has done this repetedly throughout recent history.

Most American have NO idea this is the case.

Shouldn't the title read: Why negro voters hate the republican party?

What do clean and articulate Negroes say about this?

Louisiana 1986

In the 1986 election, the RNC used vote caging to compile a list of 31,000 voters, mostly black, that it attempted to have thrown off the voter rolls.[4] At the time, Kris Wolfe, the Republican National Committee Midwest political director, wrote Lanny Griffith, the committee's Southern political director, “I know this is really important to you. I would guess this program would eliminate at least 60,000 to 80,000 folks from the rolls. If this is a close race, which I assume it is, this could keep the black vote down considerably.”[5]

Following this caging scandal, both parties agreed to amend the original 1982 consent decree to require that the RNC would submit to the court any ballot security plan for approval.

Sounds like a reasonable thing to me... Shouldn't voter rolls be verified on a regular basis. I agree they should have made an effort to be more even handed, but even the OP makes the point that there were large numbers of invalid voter addresses.

I don't believe this is the issue, however. To be black is to live under a permanent disability, and large numbers of blacks fear that conservatives want to make that disability harsher and the consequences of that disability more severe. In any downturn, blacks do get fired first. And Blacks have lower incomes, so anything that makes life just a little tougher for lower income folks seems directed at them.

So it is a little of chicken and egg here. Blacks vote democrat 90-10. Republicans want to make sure Democratic voter registrations are more valid, so they are inclined to target them. But that is because they are democrats, rather than black.

And when it comes down to deliberate disenfranchisement... It was Democrats who ran poll taxes all through the south. That was aimed at blacks. But it was a long time ago.. so people have forgotten./

[Truthmatters]

The evidence is VERY clear.

Republicans have repetedly in recent history done things to KEEP black voters from voting.

They have conspired to keep them off the voting rolls ilegally.

ITS IN THE COURT DOCUMENTS PEOPLE!

The Left runs our public schools and had convinced Negroes that public housing, public education and trading a male head of household for welfare is actually a good deal

He is not a racist. What he said was correct. If Obama was darker (and for some reason, darker black men scare certain people) and if he spoke in a certain way, he would not have won.

Agree?

racist scum

 

[amrchaos]

Actually, the reason Blacks dislike the Republican party is not because of the past, but the code words the Republican party still uses in their propaganda.

That is not going to change. Why? Well, conservatives detest change of any kind. Especially one that include themselves.

Yeah, I was wondering why Negroes suddenly started supporting Dems by 95+% after that election

 

[Truthmatters]

Here you go guys.

You are ignoring rock solid evidence that the republican party acts illegally to keep black people from voting.

There is no denying the facts so you ignore them.

Ignoring facts will not make your party a winner..

It will kill your party dead.
