That's what triggered the Supreme Court's gutting of the voting rights act, we know.

Conspiracy trash. Why should areas which have higher minority voter registration be included under the provisions of the law and not areas with lower registration?

You're not so dumb as to know there is a big difference between Ohio and Georgia!
Not that there isn't right wing forces who try to restrict voting rights of minorities in Ohio too!

You guys lack the ability to think logically. There is almost no voter ID fraud. Think about it, you would have to have a fake ID, then go out to the proper polling station. You would have to sign your name and it is matched against the signature in the polling book. Think you can do that a couple hundred times in a day? The Dems do not buy or furnish fake ID. You are your own conspiract enthusiast. That is just plain stupid.

All I did was state what happened hon. The Supreme Court gutted the voting rights act.

This just pours more fuel on the fire that is energizing democratic voters in Georgia. :0)

Black and Democratic voters gain on Republicans in Georgia

Turnout among black voters soared in last month’s Georgia primary, a show of strength that could bode well for Democrats in this year’s contests for governor and other statewide offices.
The number of black voters rose 43 percent in the May 22 election when compared with 2010, the last time there was a competitive race for governor, according to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution analysis of demographic data released this week by the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office.

The data show the broad majority of African-American voters pulled Democratic ballots, which could bolster the hope of Stacey Abrams, who is racing to be the nation’s first black female governor. Her Republican opponent will be decided in a July 24 runoff between Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and Secretary of State Brian Kemp.

At the same time, the proportion of white voters continues to decline. White voter participation in last month’s primary was down 9 percent from 2010. And white voters are more likely to be conservative, making up 93 percent of the GOP primary vote — and just 30 percent of the Democratic support.

“It confirms what we’ve been seeing among the Democratic base around the country: There is energy that’s going to be felt in the fall from voters who are clearly excited,” said Beth Schapiro, a Democratic strategist. “And they’ve got to keep generating as much enthusiasm as they can.”

The data give the clearest view yet of the changing Georgia primary electorate that shaped a gulf between the two parties that’s as wide as it’s been in decades. While the Republicans tried to outflank each other on conservative issues, Democrats jockeyed over who was more progressive.

Abrams built her electoral strategy around energizing left-leaning voters, including minorities, with liberal stances on gun control, criminal justice initiatives and tax policy. Her approach was vindicated with a whopping victory over her opponent, who aimed for a more centrist appeal.

The message resonated with voters. Four years ago, Republicans outvoted Democrats in the primary by about 265,000 ballots. This year the GOP edge was about 56,000 votes. Overall, Democratic primary voters have shot up by 40 percent since 2010. Republicans declined by 10 percent.

Hello Flash,
That could only happen if blacks had the same access to voting as whites.

Yes. I'm sure we all remember the horrible weeks a few years ago in Ferguson, MO. At that time the population was majority black, but there were no elected black officials in city council. The black voter turn-out was poor, as well. Why's that? You may also recall the DOJ investigations into Ferguson's policing and ticketing policies prior to the murder of Michael Brown. The city gained a good share of its operating revenue from traffic citations. Plus there was a huge backlog of unpaid citations and ppl with warrants. In Missouri, you have to show your drivers license to register to vote, along with a bill or something showing current address. Many ppl did not want to register to vote because they were afraid of being arrested on outstanding warrants.

Fortunately that situation has changed. There are now two black members of the council, one of whom just ran against long-time county prosecutor Bob McCullough in the primary, and defeated him. The times, they are a-changing.

The entire city was another of our internal colonies run as a shakedown scam. Non-Missourians may not know the whole story.
