The record turnout is due to black churches, black radio stations, and other black organizations mobilizing folks to get out to vote after the laws were changed. So whether the suppression worked or not, the intent to suppress was there.
C'mon man, you're smarter than that. Every Frickin election, the Dems start this crap about how the EVIL Republicans are trying to suppress the Black vote by asking people to provide such outrageous things as.......Picture IDs......OMG, everyone knows that Black people are incapable of getting picture IDs.
-- All the Black people driving are doing it without Driver's Licenses. How do they get away with it?
-- I was in the Navy for 22 years and I was never able to figure out how all those Black Sailors/Officers got on base, since everyone knows Black people can't get IDs.
They insult you by saying only minorities can't get IDs, so it's Racist to ask people to show them, when they vote. They're using you.
When Biden was in Florida, he went on a rant about how the Republicans were going to take away Social Security & Medicare. They try to scare old people to vote for them. FYI, I've heard that same line of BS for over 50 years and I've never seen anyone try to take away SS. They lie regularly.
I got a chuckle out of Obama a couple days ago. In a speech, he was telling women to vote for the Dems, so they could codify their Abortion Rights. It'll never happen. That's the carrot the Dems hold out in front of women to make sure they go to the Polls. If the Dems had any interest in actually doing that, they could have easily done it in Obama's first term. They had a Super Majority and did NOT need a single Republican vote to pass it. They could have also passed a comprehensive Immigration Law, but they have no interest in doing that either. They want to kep the issue, so you're motivated to go to the Polls.
This election cycle, you're going to see a significant increase in the number of Blacks & Hispanics voting for Republicans. People are starting to wake up to all the hollow promises you're getting from the Dems. They've seen the Biden Train Wreck that's destroying the economy and they want to put some Republican brakes on the Biden spending train.
Since Blacks are increasingly coming to the Republican Party, why would we want to suppress their votes.
