What would happen if Black and Hispanic "poll watchers" harassed and intimidated white conservative Republican voters in some lily-white exurban community?
What would happen if flyers were posted in exurban mini-malls reminding people to make sure their country club dues were paid up before going to vote.
What would happen if non-white police officers set up police checkpoints on highways leading to the polling places in some all white rural town?
What would happen if computerized voting machines "lost" votes cast by rural or exurban white voters?
What if voters in a wealthy Republican stronghold were made to wait in line for six, seven or eight hours on election day only to be told that there was no record of them being registered voters?
And what if the person behind the scenes of all of this was a black, liberal Democratic Secretary of State?

then whites would have to be a minority, in which case the blacks would get away with it because they control the levers of power. it would be an inverse situation to this, where the blacks were split 50/50 and one faction of them would exclude the whites who disproportionately voted for the rival party.
i think you've helped me see the situation we are in clearer with this question. thanks.

5. What would happen if Black or Hispanic poll watchers... |
|
...harassed and intimidated white conservative Republican voters in some lily-white exurban community would be that the RW media would broadcast the event and make an issue of the harassment and not too long after defenders of the white right to freely vote would become enraged and the minority poll watchers would be ambushed in the dark, chained to the back of a pick-up truck and towed behind the truck through their neighborhoods. The remaining torso would be either be tied to the base of a tree or left in a ditch with sign identifying their remains using a racially disrespectful name along with a written warning to others of their race that this type of disrespect of the freedom of white voters would not be tolerated. Than very thing happened in Texas I believe while George W Bush was governor.
