Republicans to Use Foreclosure Data in Black Neighborhoods to Suppress Votes

Because, as we all know, the real motto of the Republican party is, “N*gg*rs should not be allowed to vote.

The thing is, this is illegal:

“You can’t challenge people without a factual basis for doing so,” said J. Gerald Hebert, a former voting rights litigator for the U.S. Justice Department who now runs the Campaign Legal Center, a Washington D.C.-based public-interest law firm. “I don’t think a foreclosure notice is sufficient basis for a challenge, because people often remain in their homes after foreclosure begins and sometimes are able to negotiate and refinance.”

Once again, the Republican’s cynicism exceeds my capacity to be cynical.
