The Voter Fraud Fraud 0
Leonard Pitts, Jr., cuts through the smokescreen:
Granted, race is nowhere mentioned in the voter ID bills. It was not mentioned in bills imposing grandfather clauses, poll taxes and literacy tests either. All were officially race-neutral, yet the intention and effect was to bar blacks from voting.
As Richard Nixon once said of his War on Drugs, another “race-neutral” policy that somehow victimizes mostly blacks, the idea is to target African Americans while appearing not to.
Note: I think Mr. Pitts left out “other minorities, students, and poor people.”
