They <strong>want</strong> this to disappear and be forgotten. You want to keep inviting them, keep having them avoid showing up.

This racist attitude isn't what most Americans are about. The GOP candidates will have to ask for minority votes even if they stop some from voting. But the bigger problem will be those Americans who aren't prejudice will show the GOP that the US isn't controlled by the GOP KKK. The good old boys will get a wake up call that the South will not raise again. To bad the GOP can’t count. 2/3 of the voters are minorities. This racist attitude isn’t what most Americans are about.
