Black voters, ok...Black Dem voters, not okay...

And "higher ranking officials at Justice"...think Atty Gen Gonzales...take their orders from whom? This is disgusting.

CIVIL RIGHTS -- JUSTICE DEPARTMENT APPROVES GEORGIA 'POLL TAX' DESPITE DISCRIMINATION WARNINGS:

Georgia's voter identification law requires people without driver's licenses to pay $20 or more for state ID card. This law affects "a group that is disproportionately poor, black and elderly" and was compared to a "Jim Crow-era poll tax" by a U.S. District Court judge who blocked the measure on constitutional grounds. (His ruling was upheld by a three-judge appellate panel.)

The Washington Post reports, "A team of Justice Department lawyers and analysts who reviewed [the law] recommended rejecting it because it was likely to discriminate against black voters, but they were overruled the next day by higher-ranking officials at Justice."

The team of lawyers found that the law would be "retrogressive," reducing blacks' access to the polls and that Georgia "lawmakers and state officials made little effort to research the possible racial impact of the proposed program."

Despite these objections, Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales approved the law.

Wrap....
