Yes this will effect African Americans, but it will also effect the underclasses, period. When will people get it through their think skulls that most of what's happening today is not about black and white as much as it is about class; the haves and the have-nots. Until we all understand that, many of us will continue to vote against our own interests, not only in the voting booth, but with our money and how we choose to spend it.
This illegal-immigrant, voting scare is just stupid. Just think for a moment. If you were living, illegally, in a foreign country, would you risk being caught, arrested and shipped home or worse, just to vote? This is just more fear-mongering by the Goopers
Latest Republican Jim Crow Revival Effort to Keep As Many Non-Whites from Voting as Possible: "Supporters of a measure in Missouri cite concerns about illegal immigrants voting, but critics say tens of thousands of legal residents could be disenfranchised."

Hillary Claimed It, Barak Won It: Misouri
Missouri Lead Flips After Clinton Claimed It
Updated 1:07 a.m.By Shailagh Murray
CHICAGO -- Whoops, Missouri did it again.
After the Clinton campaign sent out a press release this evening claiming a win in Missouri, under the heading "Hillary's Big Night," the lead in the Show-Me State flipped -- with Barack Obama moving ahead by a few thousand votes to claim victory. One spectator at the Obama rally who wasn't surprised: Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill, whose upset in 2006 was the last Senate race called on election night, after she had trailed all evening to incumbent GOP Sen. Jim Talent.
Blame it on St. Louis, in particular the Fourth Ward, a heavily Democratic area that is a notorious reporting laggard. "Where Barack Obama is doing so well in Missouri is where the Democrats live," said McCaskill, smiling slyly. "And in St. Louis, those returns come in very late."
