That Republicans suppress minority voter turnouts continues as the perennial Big Lie by the Left, and forms a staple of how Democrats maintain their minority plantations, especially in the blighted urban areas they have controlled for decades. Today’s election hysteria is based on the blatant lie that in Georgia “it was the voter suppression, particularly of African-American communities, that prevented us from having a (black) Governor Stacey Abrams right now” according to Corey Booker. Fellow demogauges Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg piled on with equivalent statements – “partisan voter suppression … dictates the outcome of elections before the voting even begins.”
Now these are the kind of real Big Lies that actually do impact peoples’ behavior, in this case convincing minorities that their votes won’t matter because the Republicans have already stolen the election. The facts, suppressed by the lamestream, are exactly the opposite – “… Black and Latino turnout nationwide last year hit a record high for a midterm election despite voter ID requirements, registration checks, and limits on early voting in some states. Turnout increased 13.4 percentage points for Hispanics (40.4%), 11.4 percentage points for blacks (51.1%), and 11.7 percentage points for whites (57.5%) from 2014, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.”
And in Georgia the purposely hidden count was shouted down by charges that qualified minority voters were “purged” from the rolls. Another lie which “had scant impact on minority turnout: A larger share of blacks (59.6%) voted than whites (56.1%) last year. Black turnout in Georgia increased 16.6 percentage points from 2014 versus 11.3 percentage points for whites, and Ms. Abrams received 90% more votes in Atlanta’s Fulton County than the Democrat did four years earlier.”
When it comes to lying to the American public, the Left has dominated that turf for decades for the simple reason that they represent themselves as the voice of the aggrieved and wanting, defending those who can’t or won’t from those who can and do. Therefore people must be told they are aggrieved, and public policies must fashioned to keep them wanting. It was ever thus. (more here)
