You can also collect, and then toss away, select voter registration forms. You can advertise a voting date which is a week after the actual election in select neighborhoods.
Preventing 21 million legal voters from voting to stop what has turned out to be a total of 10 fraudulent votes in a decade is overkill. The Republicans are just scared because Clinton showed that the more people get out to vote, the more likely they are to vote Democrat. The Republican party still has aa problem with first time voters (18-21 year olds), minority voters, and the elderly receiving state assistance. Maine tried to suppress the first time voters by removing our same day registration. Turns out, I wasn’t registered myself (I voted yesterday) and would not have received my mail-in application in time for this election without it.
Not to mention that it was the BUSH Department of Justice that threw out the charges before Obama took office. The “Black Panther” story got a lot of play on Fox, but it was a non-issue and a non-story. Anything to club the Democrats with, even lies, if that’s what you’ve got.
This Black Panther story of them intimidating white voters seems to be dredged up by the right every time voter suppression is discussed. The Black Panthers were not charged by the Bush administration, so I presume there is nothing to it. My instincts tell me it is a highly improbable occurrence because it would not work and would get them jailed. Another version I heard was that they were there to assure that black voters were not intimidated. I don’t know if that is true either, but it sounds slightly more plausible than the other way round.
