I wasn't making an argument, rather relaying what the Clinton campaign has implied time
and time again. Now you are making a silly and laughable comparison, black people and
women's vote versus the voters of Florida and Michcigan. No comparison, were the
Floridians charged a poll charge, or threatened and beaten, or some how intimidated? No.
Did the people of Michigan have fire hoses used against them or were they threatened
with lynchings if they voted? No.

Even Harold Ickles, one of Hillary's top campaign guys, voted to impose the penalties.
Hillary Clinton has made it very clear that the vote of a democrat is discounted in a red
state. She is willing to disenfranchise millions of voters who have already voted to secure
her nomination. Again start reading some other sources of news besides the Hillary
campaign website.
