STATE REPUBLICANS MUST TURN OVER KEY EMAILS
HAND 'EM OVER

WASHINGTON -- Any race-related emails that North Carolina Republicans may have sent in connection with the voter restrictions they passed last summer could soon be public, thanks to a ruling by a federal judge.

Before the Supreme Court's decision to strike down a key portion of the Voting Rights Act, simply demonstrating a discriminatory impact could be enough to overturn a discriminatory law. Now, in order to have North Carolina's voting law struck down, civil rights groups and the Justice Department have to demonstrate that state lawmakers deliberately engaged in racial discrimination against voters.

The sweeping law requires voters to show certain forms of photo identification, eliminates same-day registration and reduces early voting -- all measures which voting rights advocates say are intended to make it harder for Democratic-leaning minorities to vote.

The emails sent by legislators are crucial to proving racial motivations played some role in the legislation.

In previous voting rights cases, legislator emails have demonstrated racial motivations. A legislator in South Carolina replied "Amen" when a constituent compared black voters to a “swarm of bees going after a watermelon," while in Texas, a Republican member of Congress acknowledged wanting to move a country club from a heavily Hispanic district into his own, in order to increase the number of white voters.

But of course, we all KNOW that North Carolina Republicans would NEVER say anything racist about their constituents....don't we....

And that clown in the Pennsylvania legislature was stupid enough to say, ON CAMERA, that "We've passed voter-ID...which will help Gov. Romney win..." :LMAO: :rofllol

BUSTED....

Another case of Democratic voter suppression about to come out from under the teabagger rock.

Once again, go tarring the good people of North Carolina before you have evidence. LJ's world, you are guilty just because of the state you reside in. More stereotypical?

When you are a bigot, false stereotypes and broad brushes are generally the foundations for your irrational beliefs and behavior.

Gee, seems to me like you are the one making a lot of assumptions. I figure if they're fighting so hard to keep from turning the material over it must be because they have something to hide. The material will either prove the allegations, or it won't.

Seeing as how this is the same state where the governor, who worked for Duke Energy for 30 years, is shielding Duke from poisoning the water supply, from any serious legal action from the EPA for its destruction of the environment; and the same one that would sneak abortion legislation through tied to a motorcycle safety bill (after promising the voters NOT to do it), I expect the materials to show EXACTLY what the Justice Department expects them to.

I see "stereotypical" here, but only insofar as it describes the actions of a bunch of knuckle-dragging Tea-Publicans in a southern state.

I don't have anything to hide but I still don't want NSA going through my E-mails.

Yup, kinda like the IRS scandal where we are now told that it could take YEARS to get those emails. Slightly more important than this don't ya think?
