In Alabama, it's always about race

[Cyrano]

Today's election day in Alabama. And Michelle Goldberg in the NY Times gives us a sample of a racial ad Roy Moore is running against his opponent.

... Moore’s allies are also attacking Jones for encouraging black people to vote. Politico reported that an ad by the Moore-aligned Restore Our Godly Heritage PAC, running on nearly 60 Alabama radio stations, blasts Jones for advertising on African-American radio. “Desperate to steal this Senate race, Jones and his race-hustling allies are trying to start a race war and it’s only going to get worse in the final weekend, with millions of dollars in street money to turn out the vote,” it says.

If/when Moore wins today, Alabama will have done it's part to drag us back to that horrible, disgusting period in history that some call their "Southern Heritage."

3. So he is actually saying turning out the vote is bad

"Stealing" means getting black voters out. He's really that buried in his own bigotry.

4. Nothing new for the repugs...

As ALEC founder and Reagan advisor Paul Weyrich put it back in 1980, “our leverage in the elections… goes up as the voting populace goes down.”
