    Every since the passage of the Voting Rights Act -- (primarily the pre-clearance laws) -- there has only been one party actively fighting to take away voting rights from citizens -- over and over and over again. You will find no more clearer example of this racist policy than in Waller County Tx. A field director for Democratic Congressional candidate Mike Siegel was arrested in Waller County after standing up for Prairie View A&M University students ((my mother's alma-mater by the way), whose voter registrations the county questioned.

    From the article:
    The campaign worker, Jacob Aronowitz, was arrested Wednesday after he delivered a letter demanding the county update the voter registration status of the students who attend the historically black university. The letter was addressed to County Judge Carbett “Trey” Duhon and elections administrator Christy Eason.

    Aronowitz snapped a photo of a county clerk to serve as proof that the letter was received. The clerk objected to having her photo taken, and police were called."

    The police asked Mr. Aronowitz which party was he representing, he told them the Democrat party and they arrested him shortly afterwards. They told him they were detaining him on a 48 hr investigative hold -- they later claimed he was being arrested for causing a public disturbance or some bullshit charge -- however after he was released, they kept his phone and attempted to get a warrant so they could go thru the contents of his phone -- WTF?

    Why did he have to stand up for Prairie View to begin with?? -- because Waller county has a 50 year history of trying to disenfranchise the voting rights of black students at the historically black college; because Waller County is a majority white county and they don't like the idea that over 10,000 black students are voting in their pure white county -- if anyone tries to say otherwise, sorry, but the history is not on your side.

    College students of all races have the option of registering as voters in states where they attend -vs- reside. Unless the scrutiny is purely limited to HBU's, it's not discriminatory, or unwise. Cases of fraudulent registrations by PAC employee / activists have been discovered and prosecuted.

    Moral of this thread...

    Cops are racist and want to hold down black Democrats.

    What a bunch of bs. I suspect the Democrat was becoming uncivil like his leaders suggest and had to be taken away for public safty.

    You vote where your residence is not where you go to school.

    If the students were allowed to have mailboxes this would not have happened.

    No doubt inspired by Eric Holder.
