I remember BEFORE fire hoses and German shepherds were used to keep black people from voting, although the specter of the noose was omnipresent. If Judge Clark throws out 15,000 ballots, she would be disenfranchising blacks as well as whites, and probably some Indians, too. Who knows, maybe some Asians and Hispanics, I don't know the racial makeup of Seminole County. Definitely Democrats as well as Republicans. It's a draconian solution, which, in the absence of fraud, I will continue to think is unlikely. I can see, just barely, although I can't understand, how a white rural Southern man could consider it to be a reasonable request, since it achieves a goal he wants, without regard to the consequences to others. White rural Southern men are not known for their sensitivity to the civil rights of others, are they?;^)
