Why on earth should black people be allowed to vote in America?
Obama refuses to explain.
President Barack Obama warned Friday that Republicans were suppressing the right of African Americans to vote in a way not seen in 50 years. Democrats accuse Republican state and local legislatures across the United States of seeking to limit early voting and of introducing punitive identity checks to cut into the core Democratic vote.
In unusually sharp language, the president accused his political opponents of using the threat of voter fraud as a ruse to deprive Americans of a fundamental right, AFP reports.
“The stark, simple truth is this,” Obama said at the annual convention of the National Action Network, a civil rights organization founded by the Reverend Al Sharpton, a prominent community leader.
“The right to vote is threatened today in a way that it has not been since the Voting Rights Act became law nearly five decades ago.”
Obama argued that such efforts were unnecessary because vote fraud was not widespread and said that in effect, they deprived African Americans of rights to equality that many had died to secure.
“Fifty years ago we put laws in place because of enormous struggles to vindicate that idea, to make our democracy truly mean something,” Obama said.
“That makes it wrong to pass laws that make it harder for any eligible citizen to vote. “It’s a fact, this recent effort to restrict the vote has not been led by both parties. It’s been led by the Republican Party.”
Republicans argue that stricter requirements to prove the identity of voters are necessary to protecting the integrity of US elections.
