JoAnn Robinson, Illinois director of the NAACP's National Voter Fund, thinks she knows why. This was the first presidential election since Republicans in the state Legislature pushed through a law in 1997 that ended voters' ability to vote a straight-party ticket, and she said many voters were confounded picking candidates individually for the first time. "In the past African Americans in particular knew all the pro-civil rights candidates were under the one-punch number," she said. "You just followed the directions to 'Punch 10.' "


My God! If I, as a white male, had said something like that, I would be branded the biggest racist alive.

I'm sure there's a bunch of KKK skinhead types laughing themselves sick out there. The NAACP has just told America that blacks are too stupid to vote.

This election has given birth to some of the most bizarre events I could ever imagine!
