    Default Justice Says N.C. City Must Have Party Affiliations to Protect Black Voters

    Justice Says N.C. City Must Have Party Affiliations to Protect Black Voters

    The Justice Department has overruled a small North Carolina city's attempt to end the use of party affiliation in local elections, according to a report in The Washington Times.

    According to the article, the Justice Department ruled that party affiliations are needed in part to protect equal rights for black voters. The department determined that white voters in Kinston, N.C., would only cast their ballots for black candidates if they run as Democrats.

    The decision was made by the same department official who dismissed a case against New Black Panther Party members in Philadelphia.

    But local residents and politicians are complaining that the Justice Department has gone too far in its latest decision, and are threatening to challenge the decision in court.

    One former Republican state lawmaker told the Times the move was "racial as well as partisan."

    Don't know what to say..... just.... unfreaking real.... you can't make this stuff up....

    I don't understand how the federal govt. has authority on this issue.

    When you are called a racist, it just means you won an argument with an Obama supporter.

    Probably because they are treating it as a civil rights case.

    According to the US Census, Kinston, NC is 66.1% black and 31.1% white. So for this proposal to have passed, many blacks must have voted for it. And the Justice Department just invalidated all of their votes. Where is Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson protesting the disenfranchisement of black voters this time around? <crickets chirping in background>

    Here's part of the answer to you question. See:
    http://law.jrank.org/pages/11168/Vot...-Act-1965.html

    The original act was directed at seven southern states—Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia—which had used POLL TAXES, literacy tests, and other devices to obstruct registration by African Americans.
