A group founded earlier this year to help mobilize black turnout for the Nov. 8 elections has suspended operations, The Post has learned.
Black Votes Matter PAC was created to address concerns about a drop-off in the black vote without President Obama, the first African-American elected to the White House, on the ballot.
Black Votes Matter PAC founder Charlie King said the allies in Hillary Clinton’s camp made it known that a separate, third-party effort wasn’t needed to turn out the African-American vote.
“We stopped pushing a couple of weeks ago. They didn’t think Black Votes Matters was needed to get out the African-American vote. We had a lot of people geared up,” said King, a former director of the New York State Democratic Party who has ties to the Rev. Al Sharpton, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the black political establishment.
King had been working with groups including the NAACP and Urban League.
King said the black turnout won’t equal the historic percentage of African-American voters who flocked to the polls in 2008 and 2012 to back Obama. But he said the black turnout should be robust enough to help Clinton defeat GOP rival Donald Trump.
“We think the race is over,” he said.

Hillary is not going to get the numbers that Obama has anywhere. Here's the bottom line - she is max'ed in both approval rating and those inclined to vote fer here, she's hit the ceiling. People vote for me, vote for you, or stay home. So the first is no longer an option. Her only play is to stop the remaining vote to vote for Trump; this is why the whole focus of MSM is to depress the remaning vote.
This year no one's falling for it.
Your post is the most likely explanation.
I think you nailed it.
I bet they discovered that their efforts were turning more people off than helping the cause....
