An expert witness paid with tax dollars by the United States Department of Justice testified that North Carolina election laws impact black voters disproportionately and that blacks are less sophisticated.
Charles Stewart, a political scientist was retained by the Justice Department to testify against voter identification laws and other election integrity measures. His testimony argued that ending same day voter registration and requiring voters to vote in the precinct where they live constitutes racial discrimination.
When asked if terminating the ability to register to vote on the day that someone casts a ballot impacts blacks disproportionately, Stewart testified in court that it did. Stewart:
It's also the case that -- well, yes, so it would, empirically more likely affect African Americans. Also, understanding within political science, that people who register to vote the closer and closer one gets to Election Day tend to be less sophisticated voters, tend to be less educated voters, tend to be voters who are less attuned to public affairs. That also tells me from the literature of political science that there are likely to be people who will end up not registering and not voting. People who correspond to those factors tend to be African Americans, and, therefore, that's another vehicle through which African Americans would be disproportionately affected by this law.
Blacks tend to be less sophisticated, less educated, and lower information voters, according to a taxpayer-funded Justice Department expert. Experts for the Voting Section of the United States routinely make tens of thousands of dollars for this sort of expert testimony, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars....

bought with a bottle of booze on election day to vote the straight Dem ticket.
Exactly!
The practice of voter assistance or what ever other euphemism for vote garnering should be against the law just like Voter Intimidation is,,, oh wait is it?
What a screwed up country.
If you vote on your own fine. Any thing else should be vote fraud and prosecuted sans holder. Put them in jail with him.
I can’t wait for Holder to pay someone to say that blacks need to eat more watermelon, can’t be expected to speak English properly, must learn Ebonics (because it’s closest to their tribal chants), etc.
The Democrats, who are the party of the KKK, have a black president and a black attorney general who is hiring “expert witnesses” to further racism.
Oh man, what you said!!!
Outstanding. It means exactly that if people don't bother to try to be informed voters, what the hell are we doing letting people register and vote the same day? I'll write again, what I and others have observed about this crap. The overwhelming number of people have at least two years, and up to four years to register to vote and get a voter ID. Yet every election the libs make the same argument. It's discriminatory to demand ID and minorities must be accommodated because they can't figure it out for themselves.
The Democrats have kept the blacks on the “plantation” and in the big cities for one reason, a block vote to insure they stay in power.
Where is the little boy?
Yep. In the early days of our republic it was not uncommon for citizens to have to ride a day each way in order to reach their polling place to vote. I think they generally voted quite well.
I wonder if this helps the conservative judges wkn in ohio because there is no party affiliation. The conservatives know who they are voting for and the morons just guess.
I wonder what would happen if they paid people a substantial amount of money to get an i.d. Would all their excuses fly out the window?
A conservative wouldn’t do this. A republican might, but anyone who does this does not have conservative values.
Well, at least he didn’t say “stupid,” not that it would matter, since they’d vote Democrat anyway. They are voting for Free Stuff.
Voters have had 2 years since the last election to register.
Dems house blacks in zoos (public housing, where they are clothed, fed, and sheltered by taxpayers); that point has been conceded already. Look at the uproar when Detroit expected them to pay water bills (and that was in regular housing as well).
Dems for a long time have maintained that it is racist to expect any responsible behavior from blacks.
I thought speaking the truth WAS a conservative value. Mealy mouthing politically correct nonsense certainly isn't.
Amen!
Intelligence is subjective not only to the individual but to the culture in which said intelligence is nurtured. The truth in this situation is that the common culture shared in less well to do black communities has been poisoned by democrat policies fostering and encouraging failure while rejecting acclimation to society, family values and even God himself. The very concept of intellect is shamed unless it is applied in the service of divisive socialist evil that panders to failed socialist policies and other disastrous lines of thinking.
This has been going on for decades to the point where restoration might not be possible with the lifetime of adult community members, if you could even get them to pay attention to what is happening before they labelled you a racist white devil.
So to state that voters coming from these affected groups are “less sophisticated” does a tremendous disservice to the amount of effort the democrat party has made in utterly and completely destroying the majority of the black community with such success.
Sad but true.
Isn't that racist?
Dear Mr. Stewart,
If someone doesn’t care enough to get themselves registered on a timely basis and they can’t get to the poles in their correct precinct on election day then they don’t need to vote. I don’t care what color they are. I can agree to early voting for about a week prior but you better have your ID AND voter registration card in your hand.
Dimocrats need fraud and dirty tactics to win.
Not if a democrat operative says it....(Charles Stewart, a political scientist was retained by the Justice Department).
It is not true that blacks are incapable of meeting the same voting requirements as whites, because God created them black.
