Good news buried in AJC article

[bunkerbuster1]

whole article is available at
http://www.ajc.com/news/content/news/election/0904georgia/28voters.html

but what's really newsworthy is this (emphasis mine):

"<...> African-Americans, who generally support Democrats, are registering in high numbers. About 32 percent of newly registered voters through June are African-American. Overall, 26 percent of Georgia's registered voters are black.

Considering that about 29% of the state's population is black, that'd mean that there would appear to, finally, be near-racial parity in voter registration.

It only took 139 years, but hey. Better late than never.

2. And if their votes are counted we have a chance.
