R.I.P FANNY MAE LEWIS CLEVELAND OHIO

It's the first time since America was discovered on the globe and later developed into USA that a black is allowed to stand up as a leader and fight for the seat of president. The policy of divide and rule is being exposed. Its piety that upgrades a human being not the color or wealth, or the ruling class treating the ones being ruled as slaves. Now that the black have got themselves identified in every field of life mostly as leading class the whites are forced to give them the right to live.

I worked the polls in Columbus both in the primary and in the general election.. in an all black area and also in a mixed poor neighborhood. When one person is disenfranchised, all of us are. Many left the long lines.but many stuck it out.

(cont)  At the primary, the lines were 5 minutes and in Nov lines were 3-5 hours. As people begged for more machines, it was later found at least one machine was subtracted from each inner city precinct with about 75 working machines found hidden in a warehouse..this was despite massive new voter registration in the college and inner city areas where the machines were lessened.

to wait up to `13 hours-often in the bone chilling rain on Nov 04 in Ohio was a crying shame.
