Whitewashing the New Orleans vote?

Deficient polling places and confusing absentee ballots could shut thousands of black residents out of the city's mayoral election.

    Dubious disenfranchisement

    The University of Virginia's Cavalier Daily in Charlottesville,VA, offered an excellent treatment on the subject of claims that the New Orleans vote is being purposely whitewashed.

    http://www.cavalierdaily.com/CVArticle.asp?ID=26781&pid=1432

    Katrina played no race cards. Why should anybody else? Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Tracy Clark-Flory appear to be playing it for all it's worth.

    New Orleans is what it is, and anybody on the N.O. voter rolls who wants to vote can do so if they want to.
