GRUNHERZ: Miko I want sources for the 90,000 figure. I want sources fot the idea that whites were allowed to vote if named
Me too - I could not find it anywhere yet. Probably not true - or not provable. Not that it makes much difference - 90,000 or 9,000 when a few hundred were enough to tip the balance.
What I do not see is those few hundred disenfranchised blacks coming out with a suit alleging their civil rights were violated by illegally denying them the right to vote. There are plenty of powers with money to organise such a class action suit, so where is it? I can name every soldier killed in Iraq and every 911 victim, so why do we have to rely on hypothetic "Jones" when real names should have existed.
That is what makes election results valid in my opinion.
But it helps when you are specific in such request like you just did now. Otherwise you may just seem contrary and hurt your case. It costs you just a minute to type compared to "Quote" and "Sources?" but makes your side more persuasive.
