dockeryfan Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 That's such tired bull****.Show me ONE ACTUAL PERSON who was denied voting. That myth was created by Jesse Jackson et al and played in the media to great hysteria. Too bad it's not accurate. I honestly cannot believe you think this. That blows my mind. "On a statewide basis, while African Americans comprised about 11% of all voters in Florida in the November 2000 presidential election, African Americans cast about 54% of the ballots that were rejected in the election. Before and during the election state and county officials were aware of several key factors that ultimately contributed to the disenfranchisement of qualified voters."

dockeryfan Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 The black population is only 11%, but the number of rejected black ballots was 54%. Of the 10 counties with the highest percentage of white voters, only 2 counties had spoilage rates above the state's average. The total number of spoiled ballots was 180,000; for every 10% increase in Black voters, ballot rejection increased by 1.8%. Of the 100 precincts with the highest numbers of disqualified ballots, 83 of those precincts are majority-black precincts. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/onpolitics/transcripts/ccrdraft060401.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
