Quin, thanks!
This whole story drives me nuts.

...40 years ago...my wife and I were old enough for our first vote for president et al.

...We studied and studied the newpaper reports on ALL the candidates... and took notes.

We went to vote.

Our notes were confiscated at the door of the polling hall. (school lunchroom).

Just about the time we sat down to vote on our paper ballots...an entire school-bus load of black folks were escourted into the hall.

An election judge walked up and down the tables and shwed them how to vote "the straight Democratic Ticket" by checking one simple box.

ARGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!

THE POE BLACK FOLKS ARE STILL DOIN' THE SAME DARNED THING, God bless them.

I lived in a large southern city for 40 years and was a political junkie and kept up with all politics. For many, many years the newspaper printed blank sample ballots and each candidate had his own printed ballot with his name checked. The African American churches in the area always had a service the Sunday before elections devoted to bringing and marking ballots. I was told by many people who attended these churches that this was a common practice all over the state. I moved to NC many years ago and was surprised to learn that most small towns in the state have non partisan elections. If the DOJ was interested in what living in a samll town means they would know that the residents (for the most part) know everyone in town. You don't have to tell anybody what color anyone is or what party anyone belongs to. I would bet that most towns in NC hold non partisan elections. We can expect an influx of DOJ employees to descend upon us.

Marxists don't care about people; female, minority or gay--they only care about power and control.

Marxists are loathsome creatures.

These people have been throwing their own under the bus, starting with the Rev. Wright right through Obamas Grandmother and a myriad of friends, relatives and political associates. Obama is true to nothing but OBAMA! I hope the koolaid drinkers discover that before the country gets more poisoned than it is.

This is nothing different than what the democrats have been saying and doing to the Black community for years. Yet, they still vote democrat. Go figure.....

Mr. Holder, let's take this a step further. For each election all black voters automatically cast ballots for democrats. In fact, black citizens will not even be required to fill out and turn in confusing ballots. Now, if a black person is stupid enough to vote against a democrat and therfore against his or her best interests (since democrats are the only ones who understand what's best for blacks (Just ask Robert Byrd and Bull Conner) the ignorant black can request a copy of an actual ballot to cast a vote for another party. A government questionaire will be required before said black person's "Application for Vote Default Opt-Out, Form 125c" so the black person(s)' decision can be approved by the AGs Special Assistant Secretary for Vote Approval of Colored People Thought Making. All application will be approved or dissaproved by an AG panel of experts, much like our soon to be health care, and a decision will be made on election day. And honestly, how can a black person be trusted to vote in a proper state of mind if they vote against a democrat?

Any and all ballots, if approved, will be mailed on election.
