Another racist statement implying blacks commit voter fraud at a high rate.
It is a sad but inevitable thing. When a party loses it's ability to attract voters the only thing left is to suppress those voters.

GOP Memo Admits Plan Could 'Keep Black Vote Down'
October 25, 1986|From the Washington Post
NEWARK, N.J. — A Republican National Committee official calculated that a so-called ballot security program in Louisiana "could keep the black vote down considerably," according to documents released in federal court Friday.
The documents and court hearing were the latest developments in a controversy over the GOP's ballot program that Democrats maintain is aimed at reducing minority turnout. The Republicans say the program's sole purpose is to purge ineligible voters from voting roles.
In an Aug. 13 memo the court made public Friday, Kris Wolfe, the Republican National Committee Midwest political director, wrote Lanny Griffith, the committee's Southern political director, and said of the Louisiana campaigning:
"I know this race is really important to you. I would guess that this program will eliminate at least 60-80,000 folks from the rolls. . . . If it's a close race . . . which I'm assuming it is, this could keep the black vote down considerably."

your people have to be taken to COURT every election
you love republican cheating and LIE about this
the DNC is a private political organization, they can choose their nominee however they want. They don't even need primaries or caucuses. They could just choose by decree if they wanted.
His plan is a failure then; he didn't make ANY supers switch in New Hampshire...nor will he in any other states.
So what you are saying is that Bernie is a moron and a dupe thinking he even has a rats chance of winning ANYTHING.
Ergo the threads premise; why the sham that there is even a nomination process. Just crown Hillary and be done with it.
why are you pretending this is not how this system has always been done?
So far there is no evidence whatsoever of Republican lying, (except GOP establishment candidates lying to the voters when they said they would get rid of Obamacare and control that son of a bitch.)
In 2001, the Florida Supreme Court and the ALGORE Campaign violated the 14th Amendment in a naked attempt to overturn a valid election. It took a REPUBLICAN lawsuit against those assholes to make things right.
The superdelegates makes the Democrat Nomination a complete sham.
Remember in 2008, the superdelegates were actually planning on knocking Obama out and keeping hillary.
Its a total sham. It's a way for the part elites and establishments to maintain control.
I like your avatar. Is it a selfie?

I agree with the premise of the OP..
why have super-delegates except to give big donors and party bosses the ability to veto the will of the people who vote?
It's certainly not democratic for the Democratic party to utilize such.

They won't switch till closer to the convention. Have to see where popular sentiment lies.
