What, you're a mind reader? This is assuming there actually was intentional voter that was provable, which I'm still skeptical of.
If enough proof were to be presented to you, would you accept the existence of voter suppression, and that it's racially motivated?

You can't say that all Republicans are racist. But you can say they have a monopoly on racist voters ever since the Dixiecrats stopped being a thing.
Very good point!

/\ Yes, I think it's safe to say that there are more racist republicans than democrats. Zippity doo dah. 
That does not mean that the majority of conservatives / republicans are racist.
It also does not mean that there are no racist liberals / democrats.
I'm not a racist. You should know that I'd be more than thrilled to tell you so if I were just to see the shockwave of total butthurt roll out across PPR. 
I'm not going to become a liberal just because there are more racists in the republican party then the democratic. I consider myself to primarily be a grassroots conservaive and not a blind supporter of the GOP. I think the GOP needs to be totally overhauled into something politically viable in the 21st century to better appeal to today's electorate.
I believe I've said all this before in one form or another but it's hard to tell people anything when their heads are in the sand.

Ironic much? You're possibly the most obstinate person on this board, which is saying something, and you're arguing against the widely recognized definition of a word, which would take less than .5 seconds on Google to clear up for you. 'Racism' does not suddenly become not racist because you think the intentions behind it are good, it either is or it isn't. Your way allows you to selectively decide what is and is not racist according to what you personally think of the motivations behind it, which is convenient for you, but is not actually how things work.
Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary definition of racism:
"A belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial difference produce an inherent superiority of a particular race."
While intent is not mentioned here, it's clear I was right by this definition in applying the tag of racism to those who oppose Obama due to racial prejudice, while the implication clearly is, those who support Obama because he's black, but not because of feelings of racial superiority or inferiority, clearly are not racist.
And if you and I are obstinate, that's only because we are both Aspies, and it comes with the territory.
