This is how the racist right lies about Black voter turnout

And people believe them. Perhaps if these 1.5 million Black voters were able to vote ...........

Instead the racist right lies and says Black voters don't turn out.



Andrew Gillum needs the support of black voters to become Florida’s first black governor. But he faces a major obstacle: A provision of the Florida Constitution with Jim Crow–era roots prevents more than 1.5 million Floridians — a disproportionate number of whom are black — from voting at all.

Like three other states, Florida permanently blocks people with felony convictions from voting. But the state’s process for restoring voting rights to people who have served their time is uniquely harsh: Felons can win back their voting rights only by appealing directly to the governor and other state officials. It can take years to win a hearing. Because of this, Florida is home to more disenfranchised felons than any other state. In 2016 the policy blocked more than 10 percent of the voting-age population and more than 20 percent of African-Americans from casting a ballot.

But this fall, organizers see a rare opportunity to overcome that barrier. Voters in November will weigh in on a proposed constitutional amendment to automatically restore voting rights to most people who complete their sentences for felony convictions. (People convicted of murder and sexual offenses would be excluded.) Observers think the proposal could benefit Gillum by encouraging unlikely voters to go to the polls because they know someone disenfranchised because of a felony conviction.

Groups supporting the proposal, known as Amendment 4, have emphasized the personal stories of disenfranchised people to motivate people to go to the polls.

“We definitely know that family members, friends, colleagues — people who are familiar with the pain somebody else might be going through — are willing to show up and be their voices,” said Neil Volz, the political director for the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, the main group pushing the amendment. “Bloodlines are a really powerful connector, and people who know somebody who’s directly impacted have a real personal reason to get out and vote.” He cannot vote in the state because of a felony conviction.


This is why they arrest Blacks at alarming rates it's another racist white man tactic to cheat at elections and make a profit at the same time.

WHEN WILL WHITE AMERICANS STOP BELIEVING THE RACIST RIGHT AND THIER LIES ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE?

This entire country is a legal and disgusting fraud.........

WAKE UP!

:cool: Someone is worried ...

Nahhh when they cheat and input dump back in office for a 2nd term, people will say Blacks didn't bother to come out to vote.

They will claim and or insinuate Blacks only came out to vote for the Black man.

They do it on this very board all the time.

so, tell us.....why should convicted felons vote......is it because they have demonstrated an exceptionally high level of discernment and intelligence?.......
 
did 130,000 fewer voters support Hilliary in Detroit than supported Obama because Florida doesn't let convicted felons vote?......
 
And people believe them. Perhaps if these 1.5 million Black voters were able to vote ...........

Felons give up a LOT of rights when they commit felonies. One of them is voting. Another is letting them own guns. Do you think such laws are unique to the State of Florida? BUT, this is merely a statement about desperation the Democrats are feeling with a candidate that is so extreme left that many in their own party probably won't vote for the man. More irony, is that he was the mayor of a city that is rife with criminal enterprise and some of the highest crime rates in the State.

Tallahassee is in the top 10 for every crime category except one.

I'll tell you what, let's just go all in with both feet and give them back the right to own guns along with voting. Will you go for that snowflake?

The sad statement which is beyond your mental capacity is the vast number of blacks who are felons.

35% of adult blacks in Florida have felony conviction, 14% of the total adult population in Florida have a felony conviction.
 
back in the 2000 election the republicans in FL hired someone to make a list of felons to remove from the voting roles


they then asked that company to make the list so broad that they could eliminate legal voters frm the roles


Bush did NOT WIN the 2000 election

the republican cheated
 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_Central_Voter_File#James_Lee's_testimony



James Lee's testimony[edit]
On 17 April 2001, James Lee testified, before the McKinney panel, that the state had given DBT the directive to add to the purge list people who matched at least 90% of a last name. DBT objected, knowing that this would produce a huge number of false positives (non-felons).[4]
Lee went on saying that the state then ordered DBT to shift to an even lower threshold of 80% match, allowing also names to be reversed (thus a person named Thomas Clarence could be taken to be the same as Clarence Thomas). Besides this, middle initials were skipped, Jr. and Sr. suffixes dropped, and some nicknames and aliases were added to puff up the list.
"DBT told state officials", testified Lee, "that the rules for creating the [purge] list would mean a significant number of people who were not deceased, not registered in more than one county, or not a felon, would be included on the list. DBT made suggestions to reduce the numbers of eligible voters included on the list". According to Lee, to this suggestion the state told the company, "Forget about it".
"The people who worked on this (for DBT) are very adamant... they told them what would happen", said Lee. "The state expected the county supervisors to be the failsafe." Lee said his company will never again get involved in cleansing voting rolls. "We are not confident any of the methods used today can guarantee legal voters will not be wrongfully denied the right to vote", Lee told a group of Atlanta-area black lawmakers in March 2001.[7]
 
first of all, if the law of the state they live in says they cannot vote they obviously do not have the right.....

second, if they were proved guilty it is highly unlikely they were innocent.......
