In today's political climate, I think it's likely that any black person who admits voting for someone other than Obama is going to get verbally assaulted, minimum, just as any woman who admitted voting for "not Hillary" would have. So many interviewees were quoted: "I think it's time we had a WOMAN president," "time we had a BLACK president." What about Clinton's, Obama's policies? "Well, I'm sure anyone who can face the trials and challenges Hillary, Obama has faced and come such a long way can blah blah blah." Imagine them on a jury, acquitting the man who killed both parents because they feel sorry for him now that he's an ORPHAN.
cycjec: to defender: I don't know wary to be of verbal assault by pro Hillary ppl; even among liberaloids in Manhattan quite a few don't like her, and it's was noticed by more than one Democratic pro.
I do notice the massive Obama sentiment in the streets of Harlem, Brooklyn etc. That's something to ponder.
Oh. Back in the days before computerized voting was an issue Mayor Dinkins forbade active duty NYPD members from acting as poll watchers. (Many retired ones were, as well as NYFD, in the election he lost in 1993.) That's because last minute rushes of the polling places are one kind of fraud that the rkba deters. (This keyboard's CAPS is defective apparently)
His successor's record is as dismal as Dinkins' as needs no recounting here.
