on Black voters in N Carolina exposed
RFK Jr.:“A felony crime.”

The bigger purge by same group

While the rest of the press is shocked that white North Carolina vigilantes are using racially-poisonous trickery to knock more than 6,700 Black citizens off the voter rolls, we already have the ringleader of the scheme on camera boasting of his election-snatching tactics.

The NAACP has identified the Voter Integrity Project of Raleigh, North Carolina, as the organization directing the mass mailings to voters in minority communities. When the letters marked “Do Not Forward” were returned to vigilante citizens guided by VIP, the group’s frontmen then challenged the Black citizens' right to vote. Republican officials then quickly removed these voters from the rolls despite the lack of any evidence that any are fraudulent voters.

“Colonel” DeLancy’s caging operation

VIP is headed by "Colonel" Jay DeLancy. DeLancy admitted to this reporter, on camera, that he’s previously used the mailing trap, called “caging,” in attempts to remove the rights of voters he considers “aliens” or “dead” or otherwise illegally registered.

While DeLancy has not found a single illegal voter, not one zombie from Mexico, he did create enough media hysteria about chimerical “fraudulent” voters to successfully push North Carolina to adopt draconian voting laws.
