This is actually real (although, I don't know if LG came up with it). Has been proposed for county boards/city councils with all at-large seats. Rather than one person, one vote, minorities could use their votes however they wished (thus, if there were 5 at large seats, the blacks could give all five votes to a minority candidate for one seat to insure election).

Nope. Look it up yourself.

BTW, Elders also advocated for banning cigarettes (which counters her point about SS) and legalizing cocaine (her son was arrested for selling).

I posted on this board that Elders should get her own radio talk show. She was great.
