Meet the Republican who invented the voter-fraud myth
While I have bashed the Republicans for racism (and many of the base clearly are racists) I do think the plan to disenfranchise black (and minority and elderly and poor) came about because they tend not to vote Republican.
If blacks were voting Republican this would not be an issue with the GOP. The GOP leadership is doing what it is doing to gain sheer power and to keep it. If that means they use the latent racism of the population then they will. Like the mafia bosses in movies like to say” Nothing personal. This is only business”.
The article clearly shows this @ : newyorker.com
What I don’t get though is how the GOP base, which claims it is always on the lookout for manipulation by “Big Brother” can so easily be manipulated by the GOP apparatus. How can you watch FOX News (even if you agree with their agenda) and not see blatant manipulation? As Republicans, should you not be offended based on your “rugged individualism” ideology you are so easily manipulated like a herd of cattle?
