The Democrats Who Cried Wolf
According to a Pew Research Center study, blacks are twice as likely now than they were in 2004 to say they had little or no confidence in the voting system, rising to 29 percent from 15 percent. And more than three times as many blacks as whites — 29 percent versus 8 percent — say they do not believe that their vote will be accurately tallied.
Apparently they are buying into the numerous claims made by Democrats that Republicans have been ‘stealing’ elections and voter fraud is running rampant. “This notion that elections are stolen and that elections are rigged is so common in the public sphere that we’re having to go out of our way to counter them this year,” said Donna Brazile, a Democratic strategist.
While this strategy may have short term advantages in energizing the outrage of the current Democrat political leadership, it appears to be having a long term dampening effect on the turnout of the traditionally Democratic Black voter.
The numerous accusations by Democrat leaders of rigged elections paint a picture of conspiracy on the part of not only Republicans, but poll workers and manufacturers of voting machines as well. “African-Americans are more susceptible to conspiracy theories about the new technology because they have been subject to actual conspiracies more often than the rest of the population,” said David A. Bositis, senior political analyst for the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies in Washington, a research organization dedicated to African-American issues.
A bit of research shows that while there have been numerous claims, there have been very few actual cases of voter fraud in the past few election cycles. It seems that the little boy that cried wolf has been very busy lately and he appears to be a Democrat.
