RobertC 314pm – You’re a bit rusty on your US history and must needs change the subject. OK. Where voter ID laws have been instituted, they have NOT shown to have suppressed the voting rates of any constituency, and they have been wholeheartedly approved by the black voters. The “difficulty” you cite is non-existent; complying with voter ID laws is much easier than checking out of a grocery store with a cart full of groceries. (But it does prevent more Dems voting than are registered or even live in a precinct.) And gerrymandering is an old American custom practiced with equal ferocity by both parties who, from time to time, are successfully challenged in the courts by the other party. Citing that as an implied Republican only perennial is yet more proof that you slept through your history classes.

Not Bigfoot Walt, American citizens. You apparently aren’t aware of two recent Supreme Court decisions in the last few months that both ruled that Republican’s illegally gerrymandered districts in their favor, along with several previous decisions that overturned Republican re-districting plans that were found to be racially biased by clumping racial minorities together in wildly gerrymandered districts in order to dilute their voting power, and because racial minorities typically vote Democratic, increase the likelihood of republican victories in other districts. These
Several red states have reduced early voting and precinct hours all of which make it more difficult for working people to vote. A judge recently overturned the Texas voter ID law stating that the law was “enacted with discriminatory intent — knowingly placing additional burdens on a disproportionate number of hispanic and African-American voters.” This kind of crap has gone on in every red state in America as the pubbers try to find a way to hold on to power as the numerical minority that represents the unenlightened self-interest of the wealthy at the expense of the rest of the American people.
These things are UNCONSTITUTIONAL. So I guess the real question is:
Do you support the Constitution or do you support the Republican Party? Concerning the legality of these matters you can’t really have it both ways.
George: Just what were those new approaches and methods of voter suppression the Dems pioneered? Curious people want to know. I would think wheelchair ramps only helped republicans get out the vote, considering their core demographic of mostly white and aging Americans.

RobertC 412pm – They are too numerous to list in a comment stream. Most students of history know that the Democratic Party since Jackson has been the party of slavery, the founders of KKK, and the extended practitioners of Jim Crow for openers. Their subsequent destruction of the black family required a more nuanced federally funded approach. It is, after all, the Dems who drove the mobile blacks from their Jim Crow south to the cities of the then Republican north. But for those history challenged curious people, I would refer them to the most recent recounting of which I am aware – ‘Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party’ (2016) Dinesh D’Souza. Focus on Chapters 2,3,4 of this NYT #1 Best Seller that illuminates the Democratic Party through the life and times of Hillary Clinton. And also focus on the presented facts, not on the ideological bent of its author (to which these responses usually descend). Bet the farm, that none of this history has been taught in our union-dominated public schools.

I get so tired of this. Ok, here we go again. History does not begin today. The Democrat Party history of racism.
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/420321/whitewashing-democratic-partys-history-mona-charen
Democrats voted to keep Africans Americans in slavery, opposing the 13th Amendment which officially freed the slaves. Only four Democrats voted for it.
Republicans also passed the 14th Amendment which granted slaves U.S. citizenship; Democrats voted against it.
Republicans also passed the 15th Amendment which gave slaves the right to vote. Not a single one of the 56 Democrats in Congress voted for it.
Shame on them.
Furthermore, Republicans passed all of the Civil Rights laws of the 1860s — including the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and the Reconstruction Act of 1867 following the Civil War.
The Republican Party itself was founded as the “anti-slavery party” in 1854. The party subsequently gave us President Abraham Lincoln and ultimately, the Emancipation Proclamation which led to the liberation of slaves.
Republicans supported African Americans not only in the 1800s, but in modern times as well.
In the 1960s, with the exception of Democrat President Lyndon B. Johnson, who was instrumental in the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act in the wake of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the truth is that Democrats were the largest single blockade to civil rights.
But don’t take my word for it.
Long after slavery was over, the Democratic Party continued down their path to deny African Americans their rights. Wikipedia refers to this as the era of “disenfranchisement” when “Democrats worked to exclude blacks” from civil liberties.
PBS reported, “The Democratic Party identified itself as the ‘white man’s party’ and demonized the Republican Party as being ‘Negro dominated,’ even though whites were in control.”
The Democratic Party was responsible for passing Jim Crow laws, in addition to Black Civil Codes that forced Americans to utilize separate drinking fountains, swimming pools, and other facilities in the 20th century.
Even Democratic icons such as Kennedy voted against the 1957 Civil Rights Act while in the U.S. Senate. Sen. Al Gore, Sr., D-Tenn., also opposed it.

If the new Cultural Revolution was serious, wouldn’t it also demand that the Democratic Party be put in a museum somewhere, away from decent people, along with those Confederate statues?
We could put Democrats in exhibits, behind glass, watching white political bosses chomp cigars and pass out goodies for votes, as minorities were relegated, as they are today, to failing schools and lost educational opportunity and neighborhoods that have become killing fields for the young and old.
And in great museums, the Democrats could be studied, safely, without endangering the sensibilities of the children.
