This is terrible. Payoffs to get or supress votes are reprehensible and anti-American. It's not dissimilar to someone who would make hush money payments to prevent negative stories from coming out right before an election, but much cheaper.
At least in Williamson and Davidson county, cross connects greater that 2% will prevent your building from getting a certificate of occupancy.
There are times, far less than most libs prefer, but more often than the GOP finds convenient, that the racial pot deserves a good stirring. This seems to fit.
I always hear these stories but never get told where I may get my Jimmy john's or where the dollars are being passed out. I believe tenny also had heard accounts of paid protesters. No one has been able to point me to where I can go to get paid to protest. Shouldn't be hard.
Give it a few years. You'll be in the minority which will free you up to [itch bay], moan, and stir the racial pot all you want.
And yet tenny, king of the squares, is well aware that this is occurring across the country in significant numbers. And Jimmy john's even has a box lunch for it.
I fail to see how this is a "racial thing" Bad idea - sure. But a move with the purpose of suppressing black votes? Half the Election Board is black. The consultant (who has no vote) was white and was one of three potential consultants that the Ga. Sec. of State gave the county when it requested potential consultants to help save the county money.
I’d think Teny’s line of work probably gets him some non-square knowledge. The busing people to vote stuff isn’t illegal, so it seems like you might hear about it if you lived in a really destitute part of town. But the paid protesters thing is what you’d really keep under wraps, or else the protest would lose all impact. That kind of thing would only be entrusted to fanatics that would keep it secret.
