On Conservatives and Black Voter Disenfranchisement
“I don’t want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of the people. They never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down.
– Conservative activist Paul Weyrich, at a 1980 training session for Christian conservatives
