First on CNN: Obama tells Alabama voters to reject Roy Moore

24. If every single eligible black voter goes to the polls - it still won't matter

Yeah - black folks gotta show up.

BUT - it's incumbent upon DECENT white folks doing the right thing and either STAYING HOME - or crossing parties and voting for Jones.

Here's a poor white woman disenfranchised

But in Alabama and eight other states from Nevada to Tennessee, anyone who has lost the franchise cannot regain it until they pay off any outstanding court fines, legal fees and victim restitution.

In Alabama, that requirement has fostered an underclass of thousands of people who are unable to vote because they do not have enough money.

Same article - READ this. Really READ it - and please please please stop bandying about that 'mythical 27%'.

According to The Sentencing Project, a Washington, D.C.-based criminal justice reform non-profit, there are 286,266 disenfranchised felons in Alabama, or 7.62 percent of the state's voting-age population.

More than half of those disenfranchised felons are black, despite the fact that African-Americans made up only 26.8 percent of the state's population as of July 2016, according to a U.S. Census estimate.

I fear that white Republicans will use that number against innocent black people in Alabama to do harm. We are falling into the same old trap where the media blames minorities for everything and non minorities who are GOOD people fall for it.
