swing states

With less than a week remaining until election day, Obamas speech
campaigning for Hillary Clinton was marked by a palpable sense of urgency
amid a tightening race. But as the US president delivered what has become
his routine stump speech for Clinton on Wednesday branding Donald Trump a
threat to democracy and attacking the judgment of Republican lawmakers who
support their nominee he invoked a lesser known name before the fervent
crowd.
.
I want you think about a woman named named Grace Bell Hardison, Obama
said.
.
Hardison was a 100-year-old black woman who had lived in the same town in
North Carolina her entire life. Last month, her voter registration was
challenged in her home of Beaufort County in what officials called an
effort to clear up the voting rolls. Of the list of 138 purged voters that
included Hardison, 92 were black and registered Democrats.
.
Trump, he noted, was calling on supporters to monitor certain areas at the
polls.
.
Theyre just out in public saying were going to try and suppress the
African American vote on election day, or the youth vote on election day.
.
This was a seeming reference to a Bloomberg story from last week in which
an unnamed Trump official was quoted as saying: We have three major voter
suppression operations under way, aimed at idealistic white liberals,
young women and African Americans.
.
The critical battleground of North Carolina is in many ways the ground
zero of concerns over access to the ballot among black voters.
.
Republicans in the state have purged thousands of voters from the rolls,
the majority of whom are black Democrats. The NAACP filed a lawsuit this
week, stating that the practice of purging voter rolls up to 95 days
before an election was a violation of federal law. The US justice
department also issued a sharp warning to the election boards in the
relevant counties of Beaufort, Moore and Cumberland.
.
Penda Hair, an attorney representing the the North Carolina NAACP, said
the counties in question were allowing individual private vigilante
residents to challenge voters based on mailings that were unregulated by
the state. The private citizens were sending mailings that would come back
as undeliverable, which they would then use to challenge the residence of
the voters they wanted the county to purge from the rolls.
.
To those in North Carolina, the pattern of purging voter rolls is
reminiscent of efforts to curtail the black vote through strict voter ID
laws struck down by a federal court earlier this year for targeting
African Americans with almost surgical precision. The supreme court denied
a request in August to reinstate the law.
.
For Democrats, the issue threatens to dampen turnout among one of its core
constituencies. African Americans were instrumental in twice propelling
Obama to the White House and have been aggressively courted by Clinton
throughout her campaign over the last 18 months.
.
With the clock ticking toward 8 November and early voting already under
way, Clinton and her top surrogates have devoted ample time to shoring up
support among black voters.
.
Obama won the state of North Carolina in 2008 by just about 14,000 votes,
and went on to lose there to Romney in 2012 by roughly 92,000 votes. As
Obama and his wife Michelle have implored voters while campaigning for
Clinton across the country: just two votes per precinct hold the potential
to sway the election away from Democrats.
.
The Obamas, who have emerged as Clintons most powerful surrogates, have
tailored their message in particular to appeal to both black and young
voters. Seeking to counter a potential enthusiasm gap toward Clinton among
such key demographics, the president framed efforts by Republicans to
suppress the vote as precisely what should motivate them to exercise their
political power.
