Actually there is no racism involved. Wanting the identity of the incumbants to be identified as what party they are associated with is just that an identity of the party.

Of course the Democratic party wants it's incumbants to be identified that way because there are voters who vote
Democrat across the board. I have family members who do this just to make life easier for themselves. If a D is by the name they vote that one. And we are mostly white folks.

You don't get it, I guess.. The voter decided overwhelmingly to eliminate party affiliation in local races..

It was the Justice Dept that stepped in and decided to overrule the will of the voters and inject race into the issue, not me or the media, by asserting that whites would only vote for a black candidate if they belonged to the Democrat party.. So in order to protect the election and re-election of Democrat candidates, the Justice Department stepped in.. plain and simple.

So not only are you admitting that politics are involved in decisions coming out of the Justice Department, but you are asserting that "down the board" voters need to be protected from their own laziness and political ignorance..

Down-the-board voting is part of the problem, on either side.. People should elect candidates based on the issues and not strictly on what party they belong to..

I thought Obama was going to usher in a new era of "post-partisan politics".. I guess it's only post partisan if you goose step to the Demoncrat party drums..

Exactly. Straight-ticket voting is, as you pointed out, the lazy and ignorant person's way to exercise their suffrage.

Well, then your family members examples of the ones that the Justice Department is talking about..

You'd vote for Satan if he had a (D) next to his name and not only would you never know it, you'd probably feel good about it because you "voted Democrat"

And you're right, Moose.. Straight ticket voting is a real issue as evidenced by the respondent above.

fine. then post the portion of the justice department's written position that asserts "that whites would only vote for black candidates if they belonged to the democratic party". if the justice department injected race into the issue then it will be in their ruling.

actually the founders made that decision when they wrote the electoral college into article two of the constitution.

This juryrigging the vote stuff is a scam, and not even a new one.That is why the Justice department stepped in and shut it down
