Trump election challenges sound alarm among voters of color

DETROIT - When longtime Detroit community advocate Frank McGhee watched two Republican canvassers vote against certifying election results in the majority Black city, he was furious.

McGhee, 58, has spent more than two decades working with Detroit youth and educating them on the electoral process. He said it was “outrageous” to see hard-fought Black voter-mobilization efforts threatened.

“I thought, these are the ultimate executioners, if you will, put in place so that quietly they could take what belongs to us,” he said.

President-elect Joe Biden was in part powered to victory in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia by Black voters, many of them concentrated in cities such as Detroit, Philadelphia and Atlanta where he received a significant share of their support. Since Election Day, President Donald Trump and his allies have sought to expose voter fraud that simply does not exist in these and other overwhelmingly Black population centers.

Such a plainly racist strategy to contest the election could erode Black voters’ trust in elections. Voting-rights advocates say they stand ready to beat back any efforts to water down the Black vote. But fears persist that Trump’s allies will undermine democracy and disenfranchise Black Americans and other voters of color.

Trump renewed his attack on Motown voters Thursday, tweeting without evidence, “Voter Fraud in Detroit is rampant, and has been for many years.”

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel blasted the Trump campaign and other groups for filing election-related lawsuits that were frivolous and lacked evidence.

“The themes we see that persist here are this: ‘Black people are corrupt. Black people are incompetent, and Black people can’t be trusted,’” she said on a call with the nonpartisan Voter Protection Program.

This is what Powell is going to court... after Rudy & Team win the Presidency via SCOTUS.

If your majority-minority precint had 300% turnout... she will prove all of the minorities who actually live there and actually vote there were effectively disenfranchised.

If voter ID and election integrity are both racist, why then does India have these two things?

I sincerely hope that Mr. McGhee will take the time to research the “great Reset”. The global elites want to control the masses. America is about letting people control their own lives. We want that for all of God’s children, as in the end that is what we are.

Checking ballots for signatures is racist. Voter ID is racist. Traffic stops are racist. Anti graffiti laws are racist. Shoplifting laws are racist. Laws against looting are racist.

They should be worried. If Trump succeeds, they’ll only be allowed one vote per person, just like white voters.

This was predicted from the beginning. They will complain that that the minorities lost their votes and disenfranchised. It took three liberals put together such a fictional article. Notice that the number of people it takes to write and make up such fiction is increasing... 3 is the minimum now I’ve seen as many as six people named on an article.

Black Lives Matter and their supporters are dangerous American enemies.

By supporting the fraud, many black citizens have forfeited rights to be American

only the voices of Dem ‘people of color’ count? Seems to me there’s a lot of Rep ‘people of color’ who want their votes heard, too.

Always good to sample what those on the other side are saying.

Here’s a link to Detroit AM 910, black talk radio. Do give it a listen.

Apparently it’s racist to simply exist.

I sincerely hope that Mr. McGhee will take the time to research the “great Reset”.”

He might want to learn how China (main player in the great reset) treats minorities, like Uyghur Muslims, there.

The black stupid, it burns.

Also note how they treat black employees at Chinese controlled firms in southern Africa - as subhumans.

McGhee is a racist that believes anything that Trump supporters do is by definition, "racisssss".

Many black people are the worst racists on the planet and believe that only white people can be racisssssss, that black people cannot be racisssssss, because they are a minority.

The English language has been so corrupted, that many people have no knowledge of the meaning of words.

When "my bitch" is a term of endearment you know the language has gone to hell in a hand basket.

expose voter fraud that simply does not exist

Simply cannot be serious. Democrat machine vote fraud is legendary.

Taxpayer taxes matter. Maybe this is a good time to start dumping tea into the harbor again.
