The hard truth here is that a large percentage of the black population is too stupid to:
1) know who to vote for
2) figure out how to vote

So they basically need to be treated like children and escorted to the polls and told to vote and who to vote for. If not, they probably wouldn’t vote or may not vote for the candidate “that they should vote for as blacks.” Like, “hey y’all we are going to go on a field trip! We will give you food and booze and have a great time. Just make sure you go into the voting booth and vote for #.”

It’s why dems often have so much material just stating the # to vote for instead of the actual name. Large groups of them were too stupid to remember the name of the person “they should be voting for as blacks” but can more easily remember just a number.

I worked in politics for a long time and this is the truth not just me being “racist”

White churches would lose their tax exempt status.

Democrats have also fought tooth and nail to keep the party column on ballots.

Alabama democrats used to hand out sample ballots with their candidates bubble blacked in so their people knew how to vote. I can't remember what they called them, blue ballots or yellow ballots, something, because they printed them on colored paper so the idiots wouldn't just try to submit the sample.

I thought souls to pools was the time honored tradition of dead people voting for Dems.

This almost certainly began around the time of BHO's re-election campaign in 2011/2012.

Sadly, many black people are obsessed with the idea of reliving the 1960's Civil Rights era over and over again. The idea of moving past the racial division, and not "being victims" is inconceivable to many of them, and they cling to their victims status with everything they have.

If you want to find the hardest core Dems in the country. Just get you some of those black southern women out of those churches. They are fanatic Dems.

No, white southerners do not have a thing like this. We are not beholden to Massa like a lot of black churches

We do not.

Our church is a polling station, but only on Election Day.

Our involvement is limited to providing registration forms and we host a candidate forum (open to all parties) just before early voting starts.

Evangelical churches beg to differ. See my post above.

Sort of surprising to know there are places in the South that have such.
