Subscribe in a readerKingston, N.C. voters decided last year to do away with the party affiliation of candidates in local elections. The Obama Justice Department overruled the electorate deciding equal rights for black voters cannot be achieved without their help. The Justice Department's ruling went so far as to say partisan elections are needed so that black voters can elect their "candidates of choice." The “candidates of choice” was identified by the department as Democrats and almost exclusively black.
If the Justice Department can do this, overruling the authority of the state; who obviously allowed the city of Kingston to decide and vote this ruling into law; what else can they do in the line of elections? Would it be safe to say they can legally suspend elections? Or, could they declare the Republican Party and all the other political parties to be un-Constitutional or un-American? Or, they could legally suspend elections completely. There’s no limit to the power the Justice Department could exert over American people.
This administration is dangerous to democracy and the freedoms we know as Americans. This news article wasn’t broadcast on the national news or on the local news; it wasn’t published on the front page, or even close to the front, of many newspapers: why? Could it be that most news agencies have sold out to the administration, afraid of being frozen out of getting any news?
There were some news agencies that shared this article with the public and I applaud them for it. If the story didn’t get out, the American people wouldn’t know to be aware to the danger the Justice Department or what they could do if no one knew of their actions. Be on the watch!
