Sarah Anzia is assistant professor of public policy at the University of California at Berkeley and the author of "Timing and Turnout: How Off-Cycle Elections Favor Organized Groups."
Okay, is she claiming that black people can't read, aren't motivated or something else? And isn't that racist? And she never mentioned the "Tea Party" by name, but I kept reading it between the lines.
So basically, she’s saying that less motivated voters don’t turn out for off-year elections, and that’s somehow racist?
Oooookey dokey!
People who don’t vote get the government they deserve, professor. It’s as simple as that. And it’s nobody’s fault but your own if you choose not to turn out for the local elections.
They could set up a table right outside polling places and hand out the checks as they leave.
Oh shut up you stupid, stupid woman.
” a simple electoral rule that locks in low turnout “.....
she should be locked in....
so she’s bitching b/c the massive amount of liberal groups that exist, are not organized for ferguson elections?
my county has always had off-cycle electioms for county/city offices and we got sheriff david clarke, the only black sheriff in wisconsin, re-elected after the democrats outspent him 10-1, at least. the g-d libtard county exc spent 400,000 grand of his own money to defeat clarke.
anzia is a lying moron that denies reality.
so should we force people who don’t know anything to vote? or can only democrats run black candidates and repubs run white one so that the uniformed democrat base can pick entirely by color?
do we force people who are not interested in voting, to vote? maybe sarah should bitch her side isn’t doing enough to get the voters out.
the election dates are well-known and publicized. i think even the newscasts mention voting days... /s
cuz that’s’where her logic takes you.
Interesting she doesn’t mention Party affliation!
In Memphis, a majority black city, a white Jewish guy is its representative in Congress...what would this woman make of that!!!
“so should we force people who don’t know anything to vote? “
the professor may see that as an option....
“can only democrats run black candidates and repubs run white one so that the uniformed democrat base can pick entirely by color?”
.....in SARAHWORLD.....evidently
They are 70% of the population.
Ferguson blacks can have any government they want.
“How did a city where two-thirds of the residents are black elect an almost entirely white city government?”
Easy. It’s democrats right? They just pick who’s going to
be on the ballot and that’s what you get stuck with. Just
like the republican party where we get stuck with a
Romney or a McCain who just happen to be the only candidates
in the field who couldn’t beat the Obama.
Quite often, people who do vote get the government they deserve also.
Of course, when the dead vote . . .
If we had forced the 4 million Republicans that didn’t vote in the last election to vote, Romney would be President.
Just think, if they would only turn out (their choice entirely) they could have government like Detroit.
Ahh - maybe the fact that voter turnout in the last election was...wait for it,
*** 6% ***
made a difference?
We can figure out when to vote for what and whom.
If some folks in Ferguson are too lazy or dumb, that's their problem.
Imagine how much worse things would be if they got the people they would vote for elected.
Ferguson’s mayor is GOP.
well if we’re going to start saying we need to do that, we may as’well just do what the demtards do and fill in ballots ourselves and “discover” the boxes later in the evening.
How much are the citizens of California paying this woman for her services??? I think she should donate ALL of it to the poor, stupid black people in Ferguson MO to help them figure out that they have to vote in order to get elected representatives of their own choosing.
