The Myth of Voter Suppression

Do Republicans win elections by preventing minorities—blacks, Latinos, and others—from voting? For those on the left and their allies in the major media, the answer is yes; even more than that, it’s an article of faith. The left says yes, but the data says NO.

BY RICK NOTKIN

MY ERROR!  I failed to swap the actual writer’s name for mine – that has been corrected and I apologize to those that thought I wrote this when it was Rick Notkin.  My humblest apologies.  It has been corrected and bumped

******

If it is wrong in one place, it should be wrong in the other, right?

So, one is from the Kavanaugh trial where the Democrats tried to railroad him off the Supreme Court bench. Or yet another #MeToo event (either real like Harvey Weinstein, or yet hoax for some agenda based reason (er, drinking, buyers remorse, get-the-boyfriend/girlfriend, or just some other obscure reason that we’re supposed already know about).  Either … Read more
