News Black NC voters attacked with disinformation.

[TheStatutoryApe]

You're twisting the meaning of "disenfranchised". These people wouldn't be able to register at all, correct? So they are unregestered votors who think they can vote, not registered votors who are being prevented from voting. What happened to them doesn't actually change anything.

If Turbo is correct in his answer to my question then these people could still have registered to vote in person before the primary even though they could no longer register via mail. So, as he stated, if they turned up on the day of the primary assuming they had been registered they would be turned away AND would have missed the opportunity they had in the mean time to still register in person.

As a matter of fact it says so right here...

One-Stop Absentee Voting apparently extends to three days before the official primary.
This definitely looks like some dirty pool.

Because WVWV covered its identity in the calls and mailings, some people thought that they were running an identity-theft operation, and contacted the VA state police.

I actually posted a couple years ago about getting calls from non-prof and campaign automated call systems that blocked their caller ID. I thought it should have been illegal at the time and now it looks like there is good reason why it should be. Why do they need to block the caller ID anyway? To make sure we'll answer?

You're not reading the posts. I have been quite specific. Even though the deadline had passed for mail-in registration, voters could register in person before the primary, and even vote the same day. EXCEPT they can't register on the day of the primary. Anybody who filled out and returned the WVWV registration form, thinking that they were getting registered will show up at the polls to vote and find out that they are NOT registered and are therefore ineligible to vote. That is disenfranchisement, and the tactic is targeted at African-American communities and neighborhoods, according to the pattern of complaints.

Sure. Did I miss something - the link Evo quoted has the NC Attorney General investigating, but not pressing charges yet. They certainly haven't said the things you've claimed happened.

Cooper, the NC AG has asked WVWV for its NC calling/mailing lists. Until he gets them he won't know how solidly he can make the case for race-based voter suppression. Prosecuting the group for violating NCs laws on the telephone calls - failure to identify the identity of the caller during the call and blocking of number would be small potatoes cases compared to the federal violation of race-based vote suppression.
