Ahh... so the basic shot at voter supression/voter fraud discussion by this. One case that can be argued is that the security level is such in order to prevent a wack from coming in and shooting up people, making sure they are legit.  There is less of a demonstrated issue that someone is going to go shoot up people from the voter boot.

I had thought MAYBE, when I read the subject header, it was going to be on Mitt Romney getting 0% of polling support among African-Americans in a recent poll:

Actually THAT news item is far more connected to potential racism than security at a political party convention.  

Or, the throwing nuts at African-American cameraman, and saying "This is how we feed the animals":

And the whole voter supression/voter fraud thing involves preventing those who would vote Democratic, from being able to vote in the polls.  But, feel free to go this way, so you can feel at night you can sleep, because DEM Democrats are really also racists.
