Alabama’s voter ID laws had no suppression impact on black American
turnout in the state’s most recent Senate election.
Despite constant accusations from organizations funded by
billionaire George Soros and Democrats that laws mandating voters show ID ahead
of casting a ballot suppress minority turnout, the most recent case in Alabama
seemingly debunks this theory.
In the Alabama Senate runoff election in late 2017
— where Roy Moore and Doug Jones fought to take Attorney General Jeff Sessions’
former seat — black Americans turned out in droves to push Jones over the edge
to win the election, even as the state had implemented a new voter ID law.
The New York Times admitted in a report
that the high black American voter turnout in Alabama “complicates” the claim
by leftist advocacy groups and Democrats that voter ID laws keep black Americans
from getting out to vote.
The New York Times admitted in 2017 that voter ID laws
did not suppress the votes of black Americans in Alabama’s most recent
election.
A similar report by Courthouse News noted how despite claims
that Alabama’s voter ID laws would suppress black American voter turnout, the
opposite occurred on election day:
Jones
was carried to victory by black voters who turned up on the clear December day
in numbers higher than expected.
According to exit polling conducted by CNN, black voters overwhelmingly
supported Jones, with 98 percent of black women voting for him. [Emphasis added]
Twenty-nine
percent of voters in the Alabama special election were black, according to CNN,
at a time when they make up about 26 percent of Alabama’s population. While one in four people in Alabama
are black, one out of every three voters in line Tuesday deciding the race
between Moore and Jones was African-American. [Emphasis added]
In his newest book titled Fraud: How the Left Plans to Steal the Next Election, Government
Accountability Institute (GAI) research director Eric Eggers told Breitbart
News in an exclusive
interview that “the Democrat political machine is built in part on the
reliance of illegal votes cast by demographics that vote reliably for
Democrats.”
This “political machine,” as Eggers describes, is partly
committed to stopping voter ID laws with accusations of racism and voter
suppression, despite there being no evidence supporting these claims, he says.
