A Republican state senator in Georgia has vowed to end Sunday balloting in DeKalb County due to the fact that the area is "dominated by African American shoppers and it is near several large African American mega churches."

The news was flagged by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. In a longwinded email state Sen. Frank Millar (pictured) rants that Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal "appointee Interim CEO Lee May has disappointed those of us that hoped he could help bring the county together."

Millar goes on to note that DeKalb county happens to include a number of African American mega churches.

"Now we are to have Sunday voting at South DeKalb Mall just prior to the election," Millar wrote in the email. "Per Jim Galloway of the AJC, this location is dominated by African American shoppers and it is near several large African American mega churches such as New Birth Missionary Baptist. Galloway also points out the Democratic Party thinks this is a wonderful idea – what a surprise. I’m sure Michelle Nunn and Jason Carter are delighted with this blatantly partisan move in DeKalb."

Maybe we could have a smilie of a little round figure wearing a white hood, for situations such as these.

Fine with me.

[tanyev]

4. So, how is Reince Priebus's GOP outreach project going?

[Hoyt]

5. Typical suburban Atlanta racist legislator. Truth is, that kind of hatred attracts votes in his

district.

6. rofl, I just read the comments at the page-

Here's a good one-

Anti​Sachet​De​The
2h

Ultimate irony? This is being allowed because of the Supreme court decision that ended the need for Georgia elections to be pre-cleared.

Hoist on their own petard.

many more good ones at the site- anyway, yup. Keep talkin' Millar. Keep talkin.

9. K & R - I agree about the hooded smilie

[daleanime]

10. K&R....

[CaptainTruth]

11. I'm sure Millar would be happier if their votes only counted 3/5.

PINATA!!!

(That's what I say when I want to hang someone from the ceiling & hit them with a stick. )

[Scuba]

12. So he thinks voting is a "blatantly partisan move". How interesting.

[KamaAina]

13. No, just allowing people to vote.

Certain people, anyway.

[Omaha Steve]

14. We don't need no stinking voting rights act

K&R!

[Gothmog]

15. This idiot is proud of being a racist

[Demoiselle]

16. Is EBV (Excessive Black Voting) related to DWB (Driving While Black)?

Good grief. How have we ( and by we, I mean our country) managed to survive this long? The stupidity, it hurts!!!

[KamaAina]

17. Well, yes. DeKalb is pretty suburban.

So outside of maybe Decatur, the county seat, you have to DWB to the polls before you can EVB.

18. His point is that he knows how racist his party is and is mad that minorities are getting

to vote. He isn't even trying to hide the fact. The GOP is The Party of Racists.

[oldandhappy]

19. Democracy is such a problem, eh?

[Shrike47]

20. Rights are for whites, everybody knows that.

(just in case...)

[blackspade]

21. What?

Damn, that is some racist shit there.

[blkmusclmachine]

22. Republicans don't want African-Americans to vote. End of story.

[nxylas]

25. But most of them aren't stupid enough to actually say so out loud

At least, not in public, in a crowd that includes people other than their good ol' boy buddies.

[alp227]

23. If Reagan ran for office today, he wouldn't need the "states' rights" dog whistle anymore. nt

[AverageJoe90]

24. Fran Millar has no shame. Not one bit. nt

[Glaug-Eldare]

29. I think Fran's his wife (nt)

26. 85000 trying to register is being blocked by Sec. of State.

The Republican Secr of State is blocking the approval of over 85,000 people trying to register. He told his fellow Republicans it would change who wins the election in November. Over 700,000 black people are not registered and are being blocked by the Republicans. They are winning elections by fraud, the very party who complaints about fraud, is committing fraud on the people of GA.
This state is not a Democracy, it is a Republican Dictator run state. Until such time as the courts step in and demand the Rep. Secr of State approve the forms, This is FRAUD on the USA. This is happening in KS, MO and other Republican controlled states. The Republicans are actually padding the ballot boxes by not allowing people to vote.

27. Welcome to DU!

I was once fairly close to becoming an ATL Dem voter. I feel your pain.

28. Fuck you Frank Millar.

In fact double fuck you Frank Millar.
