Terry McAuliffe Zitate

When I ran for governor, I talked about the disenfranchisement of voters. I talked about the history that we've had. We've had a horrible history here in Virginia going back to 1901 - the poll tax, literacy tests, disenfranchisement of felons. We're one of the worst four states in America on allowing people back in with voting rights.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Als ich auf den Gouverneur kandidierte, sprach ich über die Entrechtung der Wähler. Ich habe über die Geschichte gesprochen, die wir hatten. Wir haben hier in Virginia eine schreckliche Geschichte hinter sich, die bis ins Jahr 1901 zurückreicht - Besteuerungsabgaben, Alphabetisierungsprüfungen, Entmündigung von Straftätern. Wir sind einer der schlimmsten vier Staaten in Amerika, die Menschen mit Stimmrechten wieder zulassen.

I care more about the country than what happens to me. But we can't allow the law to become a political weapon or agree to scare people away from standing up for their rights, no matter how good the deal. I'm not going to be part of that.

We hadn't heard anything about registering to vote because when you see this flat land in here, when the people would get out of the fields, if they had a radio, they'd be too tired to play it. So we didn't know what was going on in the rest of the state, even, much less in other places.

And so, I mean, he declared war right there and then in so many words and Alex says later in the book, nobody in the White House from that point on had any doubt that we were going to bomb the mainland of Asia.

It was the biggest suppression of voting rights in our country's history since Jim Crow. And the thread of race runs from the beginning to the end of my book.
