@rangerrebew @mystery-ak @Oceander @CatherineofAragon @txradioguyThis is why I did not want Perez to win the election for Democrat National Chairman. I watched their debate and heard his views on election "fraud" and the Voting Rights Act. Perez is a CIVIL RIGHTS LAWYER.
I was dismayed at his statements and the gist of it stuck in my mind, thinking we were going to have hell from him if he won. He is stuck on this as one of his major goals and being a Civil Rights lawyer, he knows how to make a case. Here it is:
He said, Republicans ARE keeping minorities from voting, they pass picture ID laws, knowing minorities can't get to a place to get an ID, it costs them money they don't have so they can't get them, and said this must be stopped. That was his major one, plus others I don't recall. He is going to hammer Republicans about actually, on purpose, keeping minorities from voting. He will stay on this from now on in his speeches across the nation. Darn, there he is now on CNN,blasting Republicans. Rats, he said Trump has twitted that their election was "totally rigged". (If you took great,really great, bigly, rigged, out of Trump's vocabulary, he couldn't speak). Back to minorities and voting:
He doesn't think the Civil Rights Act pertains to whites because it is non-white minorities that the Act was designed for - to keep Republican whites from preventing non-whites from voting. I would not be surprised, since he is a civil rights lawyer, if he filed a suit against Republican Secretary of States whose state has picture ID laws.
