The next few months leading up to the Democrat National Convention are going to be quite entertaining, as a couple of myths the left has propped up as truths dissolve before our very eyes.
Myth 1: Republicans and Voter Disenfranchisement
In the aftermaths of the last two presidential elections, there was one constant progressive recitation: “The Republicans stole the election.” There were many charges of voter disenfranchisement, and some were specific alleging that the Black vote was screwed with. Despite the fact there were many independent, media recounts of the votes and in each case George W. Bush won, the chants of vote suppression and manipulation continues to this day.
I’ve tried to utilize logic to dispel those conspiracy theories. For example, I can remember no report in the Black community where a witness was quoted as saying some lily-white Republican came in and absconded with ballot boxes, or some ballsy, unarmed Republicans were “intimidating” Blacks from entering a poling place. Aside from Bush, how many Republicans are thought of as to be that stupid?
Yet the accusations persist. The phrase “Count every vote” remains popular to this day.
Myth 2: Democrats Count Every Vote
