After signing racist voter suppression law, NC Gov. Pat McCrory brags voters are ‘not coming out’

Republican North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory’s voter ID law may have been struck down, but he suggested on Sunday that other suppression techniques were working because Democratic voters were “not coming out” to the polls.

Earlier this year, a federal court found that North Carolina Republicans intended to suppress minority voters by requiring a photo ID, banning election day registrations and other regressive restrictions.

McCrory told Fox News on Sunday that Republicans had been successful in suppressing the Democratic vote.

“We’re already seeing the Clinton voters not coming out in numbers the Obama voters were coming out four years ago at this point in time,” he explained to Fox News host Maria Bartiromo. “I think the turnout will be impacted by this [Hillary Clinton email scandal] because people are just disgusted with the whole thing.”

1. Republicans know they can't win a national election fairly anymore.

Eventually, they'll lose the Senate and be relegated to gerrymandered House districts.

2. Republicans use modern day poll tax tricks

To reduce turnout of probable Democratic voters. Yup, real American patriots... they shorten the number of early voting days, then they reduce the number of polling stations in Democratic districts. To top it off they demand voter IDs that are hard to come by - especially for the old, the poor, and those living in the inner cities.

I wonder if that is what the protectors of democracy had in mind over the last 240 years of America's history? Republicans like McCrory wrap themselves in the flag and then take the fundamental right of every American that doesn't agree with them. That's not democracy and they ain't no kind of patriots.

3. And when they have been elected in the past, they only work 22 days a year, obstruct 22 days a year,

cut taxes for the rich, and invade women's bodies.

4. And writing more laws restricting voting rights... nt.
