alchemyjones:crotchetybushtit:land-of-propaganda:#BlackAmericaBREAKING — Polls Down in Primarily Black NeighborhoodsMSNBC is reporting that some North Carolina polling places in predominantly African American neighborhoods were down on Tuesday morning. A polling place near Bennett College, a historical black college, didn’t have the correct voter rolls. Another location was missing thumb drives.Last week, voters noticed that some machines in Guilford County were switching votes for Sen. Kay Hagan (D) to her Republican challenger Tom Tillis.(Watch the video here)(Read more here)(11/04)This happened for about 2 hours in Hartford CT this morning. The rolls simply were not at ANY of the 26 polling places in the city. Tell me that shift workers who made time in the morning to vote are gonna be able to vote later today. Tell me why this shit didn’t happen in Greenwich CT where rich white voters could stroll in to vote at their leisure and grab coffee (served by shift workers) before arriving at their office job late. Tell me why media mainly focused on how the incumbent governor had to wait to vote and why the story wasn’t, in fact, the mostly poor and nonwhite Hartford residents who had to leave and go to work or return to childcare duties. Tell me why voters were punished for a polling place error.This is my first election in CT and like damn it’s been gross to follow the whole time. -- source link
