you mean these
Cathy Jackson, an African American woman, has been a registered voter in Broward County since 1996. Upon registering in Broward County, Ms. Jackson was told that if she ever experienced a problem with her voter registration card, she would be allowed to vote if she could produce a valid driver’s license.
Donnise DeSouza, an African American, has been registered to vote since 1982 in Miami-Dade County. When she entered the Richmond Fire Station in Miami-Dade County at 6:50 p.m. and showed her identification to the poll worker, Ms. DeSouza was told that her name was not on the rolls.
Angenora Ramsey, an African American former poll worker with 18 years’ experience, had changed her address prior to November 7. Based on her familiarity with election procedures, when Ms. Ramsey went to vote at Precinct 62 in Palm Beach County, she completed a change of address affidavit.
R. Jai Howard, vice president of the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University Student Government Association, testified on behalf of more than 12,000 predominantly African American students.
Barbara Phoele, a poll worker in Broward County at Precinct 6C, observed mostly African American and Hispanic voters being turned away because their names did not appear on the rolls.
When Lavonna Lewis, an African American first-time voter, went to her polling place to vote, she was told by a white poll worker standing outside that the poll was closed.
Non show disanfranchisment of blacks
Last one- So the poll was closed? What time was it? The report doesnt mention this- its completly worthless without CONTEXT
Names didnt appear on the rolls? Ohh okay thats intentional black voter disanfrachisment... right
None of these prove blacks were TARGETED- these lack context- being turned down because your name isnt on the rolls- the real question is- WAS HER NAME ON THE ROLLS? If it was- and she was turned down- then that would be disanfranchisment- but turning down someone who isnt on the rolls isnt discrmination
