If a black man in uniform is not intimidating, neither would a white cop be, right? Or a billboard pointing it’s a crime to double vote?

re: #711 Daniel Ballard

Oh bull. People of whatever color and professional persuasion are part of everyday life. That does not change near a polling place.

re: #719 Daniel Ballard

And the billboard?

The billboards were put up only in urban, predominantly black neighborhoods in states where formerly imprisoned felons are allowed to vote. Now tell me that a person who has spent time in prison does not have a much greater apprehension about going back there. And then tell me that there aren’t a much greater proportion of black Americans who have spent time in prison than white Americans.

Or tell me that it doesn’t matter for some reason because they could vote by mail.
