Do you believe that restricting Sunday voting, when many African Americans traditionally vote, is good for American democracy?

    In my Democrat-controlled state we vote on Tuesday. I guess Democrats don’t like African Americans voting.

    Many Americans and people of different cultures around the world don't work on Sundays.  No that does not mean everyone.  It does mean that for many that is not when business is regularly conducted.  It takes a group of people to run the polls.  If it is agreed they don't work Sunday then there wont be anyone there to run it.  I personally don't care it they run the polls on Sunday just as long as it is done properly.  But I assume because many Americans have religious beliefs that would discourages them from voting on Sundays that probably wont happen.

    Blacks are more religious so they don't vote on Sundays. According to Pew Research, 47% Blacks go to church at least once a week, compared to 34% among whites.

    No.

    I also think it's good that they went to pray on it before they do it.

    Why are any restrictions needed at all?  I mean there has to be certain efficiencies, voting can't take up our whole lives, but in general voting rules should be mostly about getting the most eligible voters to vote.  What's fair for the most number of people shouldn't be partisan at all.

    They "traditionally" vote on Sunday?  How long as this so-called  "tradition" been going on?  

    I'm pretty sure it is a recent phenomenon, and not a "tradition."

    It is not. Its also un-Christian. Republican lawbreakers work for a real bad spirit. Souls to the polls will not be denied.
