Transcript:
President Bush (on TV): I'm George W. Bush, and I approve this message... Ad: Recently, urban youth have been receiving a lot of messages about voting. Some of it may be confusing...Is there reading involved? How do I work the voting machine? Am I legally allowed to vote if I'm a felon? Politics is very complicated, and if you're unsure about the issues or your voting status, you could be embarrassed, even arrested, if you try to vote. Urban youth in ad: But I'm on parole!! Ad: And depending on where you live, your vote may not even count! So before you get up and go all the way to the polls, ask yourself...is it really worth it? Urban youth in ad: No way, homie!! Ad: Voting: It ain't worth it, Homie!

If you can get that to work, you wouldn’t even NEED gerrymandering, restrictive voter ID laws or any of the rest of it…

This show has done such a fun job at satirizing the evils of “urban gangsta flava”, that the show wouldn’t be the same without it.

True story: in ‘04, Republiklans got their hands on (or counterfeited) PA Board Of Elections stationary, and blanketed black neighborhoods in Philly with letters saying that, because of expected high turnout, if you planned to vote Republiklan you should show up on Tuesday, and if you were voting Democratic you should come out on Wednesday. Because they know they can’t win on issues.
