We've heard so many racist comments and ads from Republicans in this election cycle. Aren't they afraid they'll anger Black voters, who'll turn out in force to vote for Democrats?

No! They're working on ways to suppress the Black vote. This is the same tactic we've seen in every recent election. Fraudulent claims of 'Voter Fraud,' threats that people can be arrested at the polls, and so on, ad nausem!

This is already happening in Missouri. At the Get-Out-the-Vote training session I attended last night in Kansas City, participants talked of threats that Black people could be arrested at the polls if they had outstanding traffic tickets.
