Various GOP entities have been involved in identifying how to demotivate AA voters from being able to, or choosing, to vote. One wonders if the Russians had contact with these entities to acquire the expertise.

... campaign to encourage blacks to politically disengage in the run up to the 2000 presidential election. They had a similar propped up third party stooge in Ralph Nader, and it worked.

The Russians are totally outclassed.

Meanwhile their magic totally worked up here in Portland on the pot smoking frog nazis.

Ridiculous narrative in the ongoing tradition of scapegoating black people for not voting, not voting enough while at the same time blithely suppressing our vote as in the SC's decision in Shelby County v. Holder of 2013 that gutted protections from drawing electoral districts, placing restrictions on early voting, or requiring specific forms of voter identification.

The facts are speaking for its self. Read the story if you can,pretty well run operation out of Russia.

Russians have been trying the bullshit on African-Americans since the 1930s. We should have been in the Soviet Union in droves by at least the early '50s or during the Cold War. But few of us fell for the crazy notion of replacing one oppressor for another.

I'm surprised this article did not cite gerrymandering, placing restrictions on early voting, or requiring specific forms of voter identification. But blame the Russians for low black turnout instead of the long tradition of anti-black voting suppression by country itself.

From what Pew reported our turnout fell 1% while the white voters turned fell by 0.4%.
