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."


Unseals Document
She said in the memorandum that the program had been approved by Gregory Graves, deputy political director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
The document, called Exhibit 13, was unsealed by U.S. District Judge Dickinson R. Debevoise when lawyers for the Democratic National Committee said it was needed to question Wolfe.
Wolfe testified that she wrote about the possibility of keeping the black vote down to remind Griffith that there "might be a political situation he might want to consider. . . . I wanted him to be aware of the political considerations."
The Democrats are suing the Republican Party for $10 million, charging that the Republican National Committee ballot security programs--a method of assuring that voters reside at their listed addresses--violated a 1981 consent agreement signed by both parties.

the republican party WAS ALREADY on a court forced consent decree for cheating voters out of their rights when they committed this crime against black voters.


the courts keep reinforcing it because they keep cheating

THEY ARE STILL UNDER THAT CONSENT DECREE

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_New_Hampshire_Senate_election_phone_jamming_scandal




The 2002 New Hampshire Senate election phone jamming scandal involved the use of a telemarketing firm hired by that state's Republican Party (NHGOP) for election tampering. The tampering involved using a call center to jam the phone lines of a get out the vote (GOTV) operation. In the end, 900 calls were made for 45 minutes of disruption to the Democratic-leaning call centers.
During that state's 2002 election for the United States Senate seat being vacated by Republican Bob Smith, the NHGOP hired GOP Marketplace, based in northern Virginia, to jam another phone bank being used by the state Democratic Party and the firefighters' union for efforts to turn out voters on behalf of then-Governor of New Hampshire Jeanne Shaheen on Election Day. John E. Sununu, the Republican nominee, won a narrow victory. In addition to criminal prosecutions, disclosures in the case have come from a civil suit filed by the state's Democratic Party against the state's Republican Party (now settled).
Four men were convicted of, or pleaded guilty to, federal crimes and sentenced to prison for their involvement. One conviction was reversed by an appeals court, a decision prosecutors are appealing. James Tobin, freed on appeal, was later indicted on charges of lying to the FBI during the original investigation.
 
Michigan Rs email show gerrymandering plans
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...cid=spartandhp



WASHINGTON — Newly disclosed emails show Michigan Republicans angling to give their party a dominant position through gerrymandered maps and celebrating the plight of their Democratic rivals.
Republicans in the state have denied that they sought partisan gain when they drew new legislative boundaries in 2011. But a federal lawsuit, which argues the maps are unconstitutional, has unearthed records showing Republicans intent on drawing boundaries that would help their party.

Naw, I just use good old fashioned epithets, shitweasel.

Trump hasn't read a book his entire life, much less the NYT. :rofl2:

Thanks for being a shining example of massive ignorance and gullibility. You've been amusing, but a little too easy to allow you demonstrate, publically, your terminal Trumptardism. Obviously, no cure for you.

Where did I indicate the NYT gave me any marching orders, illiterate Trumptard?

I merely pointed out that your hero, Orangetweet, hasn't read a book his entire life, but now has the "authority" to label the prestigious NYT as "fake news"? How massively gullible are you, Trumptard?

I'll also spell it out for you, Trumpsucker. TDS is when idiots like you are in terminal denial about Agent Orange's pathological lying and complete incompetence. THAT'S Trump Derangement.

Since you're too fucking stupid and/or lazy to do your own homework, I'll give you a start.

Oh, here we go: another media blog piece to fill in for where your own thoughts used to exist.

No, Trump isn't my hero. I just don't freak out, reveal my schadenfreude, and hate everything around me when I come across a tweet I do not like.

No I agree, they may have done that.

Here are some more facts:

Recent elections in the United States provide examples
of turnout buying. During the 2004 election, five
Democratic Party operatives in East St. Louis were
convicted in federal court for offering cigarettes, beer,
medicine and $5 to $10 rewards to increase turnout of
the poor. One party official pleaded guilty and testified
that operatives offered individuals rewards “because if
you didn’t give them anything, then they wouldn’t come
out.” A local election in Oakland provides another
example: campaign workers handed out thousands of
coupons for free chicken dinners in an explicit and targeted
effort to draw voters to the polls. More broadly,
observers in various US cities have complained that
some politicians use “street money”—–small, unreported
cash payments ostensibly used for legal get-outthe-vote
efforts such as canvassing and transporting
voters—–as direct payments for turnout. For example,
one journalist examining the use of “street money”
in Chicago reports that “members of large families are
still ‘hired’ by precinct captains on Election Day for $30
to $50 to make sure voters get to the polls.” Overall,
such examples suggest that turnout buying deserves
further investigation.2
