.... in 2004 Kewn Blackwell, Karl Rove, Michael Connell, and smartech kept over 250,000
blacks from voting in OH, and in 2016 millions of blacks were kept from voting and or having
their vote counted all across America.

Trump even has taunted us about that too.

During a “thank you” rally Thursday night in Hershey, Pennsylvania, President-elect Donald Trump thanked various groups of people for his expected Electoral College victory over Hillary Clinton. Among them were African Americans, but Trump acknowledged them for a reason you might not expect — he specifically thanked those who didn’t turn out to vote at all.

Trump won just eight percent of the black vote, after a campaign in which his main message to African Americans fell along the lines of “your lives are terrible so why not try something different.”

And at Thursday’s rally, Trump emphasized that his last-ditch efforts to persuade black voters to stay home worked.

The real story is not about all the rural white people who came out to vote for Trump but the millions of African
Americans who couldn't vote or have their vote counted. Voter suppression, the Russians, Comey, and "magic"
voting machines and you have a coup. The models that HRC @ >90% chance of winning were not wrong.
