As a black woman, neither I nor my friends melted about Senator Landrieu losing; we melted about our friends being too stupid to exercise their right to vote. Generally, educated people are friends with educated people, so one would assume that educated blacks would understand the history of this nation and would vote. However, a large portion of blacks stayed home and it's disgusting. I also melted because at my white precinct in BR, they attempted to disenfranchise me because they assumed (correctly) that I supported the senator. When I tried to vote using my military ID I was told I couldnt because military ids don't have an address on them. It wasn't until hell was raised that they relented when their supervisor told the workers to allow me to vote. I did melt over that.

Im a white male and during the November election they refused my military ID and required a DL to prove my address but yesterday I had no problem with my military ID. I have to assume that it was because they showed record where I voted 30days ago with my DL and they didn't need to check it again. Maybe I should start believing that my black precinct in Shreveport is attempting to disenfranchise me because they assumed (correctly) that I supported Cassidy (lesser of two evils). Why do you have to always think that "the man is trying to hold me down". Gimme a break...
