To be honest, Intelligent Black Women scare a lot of Black Men, as well, but for different reasons.

Your map is a bit misleading, as while Oregon gave Women the right to vote, but it also was illegal for most minorities to settle in Oregon, as the Dixie of the Northwest.

this is a pretty clear cut violation of Section 208 of the VRA. a person can designate anyone they want to assist them in voting so long as it is not their boss or a union officer. the courts just ruled on this regarding choice of interpreter in October 2016 in a TX case. we just heard a bill updating TX statute to comply with the ruling in Sen. State Affairs today.

I'm starting to wonder what your lawsplainin' credentials are, $5, given that I am not a lawyer, but the VRA is the first place I would have checked to find out if they can really do this. if her lawyers have not figured this out, the ACLU of GA better get on it and file a federal case.

I used to go with "I understand they're not talking about me" when people made sweeping generalizations about evil white people. Unfortunately, I keep hearing of people who feel turned away from the Democratic Party by it. The "deplorable" crap, while probably true, does NOT get us votes.

I. Just. Can't. They actually moved the black polling station to the fucking Sheriff's office? Fucking fuckers.

Oops! Another wet di-di! Time to change and then time for night-night. Maybe Mommy-kins will sing a nice bedtime song so little Randy-kins can go to sweep-sweep.

Basically if you're a taxi driver, bus driver, or Uber driver, you better not be working on election day.

Elsewhere on the Internet, someone was saying we need to stop pointing the finger at non-voters as we try to figure out what to do going forward with regard to Trump. I tried to explain it with a tasteful analogy:

---

Perhaps an anecdote from my childhood is worth relating. At the end of the first week of second grade, the teacher let the class vote: do we want Neapolitan ice cream, or do we want to be äss-räped by clowns? Well, a lot of kids voted for the clowns because clowns, but almost as many of us voted for ice cream. But most kids said "fücking büllshït, maaaan, Neapolitian ice cream isn't 100% of the one flavor I like best, I'm not voting at all". So the clowns won, and afterwards were many tears.

Thing is, the teacher gave us the same choice every single week: Neapolitan ice cream or äss-räpe by clowns. And every single week the vote came out much the same: clowns came in first, followed by ice cream, but most kids didn't vote at all. So week after week the clowns would march in and do their business and leave. Now, as one of the kids who voted for Neapolitan ice cream (even though I don't like strawberry), I got mad at the clown-kids, but at least I could understand them: they enjoyed the chaos and they got to call other kids "crybabies". But the kids I had no sympathy for were the ones who didn't vote and thus ensured we'd get clowns week after week. They complained more than anyone about the clowns, but they also made the same choice week after week that ensured the clowns would come back.
