JIM CROW RETURNS 
MILLIONS OF MINORITIES THREATENED BY ELECTORAL PURGE
Former Republican Chester County Commissioner now Secretary of State Carol Aichele administers Pennsylvania's CROSS CHECK PROGRAM.  

It’s Jim Crow all over again," says the Rev. Joseph Lowery, who cofounded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference with Martin Luther King, Jr. Lowery, now 93, says he recognizes in the list of threatened voters a sophisticated new form of an old and tired tactic. “I think [the Republicans] would use anything they can find. Their desperation is rising.”

In 2008 Carol Aichele and Terence Farrell got together to block black voters in  Chester County by moving the Lower Oxford polling place from Lincoln University to a tiny building.  Terrence Farrell voted in Lower Oxford. Without his participation the polling place could not have been moved.  The reason he gave for moving the polling place from Lincoln University was that a white woman in Lower Oxford did not feel safe at Lincoln University.

In case you are not aware, Terrence Farrell is a black Republican

Back in 2008 Chester County Republican election strategy was to keep students at Lincoln University from voting for Barack Obama. Carol Aichele voted along with Terrence Farrell to make the polling place change from Lincoln University to a tiny building in Lower Oxford effective.

"In predominantly white Chester County, Pa., Lower Oxford East Township contains the largest concentration of African-American voters, largely because of Lincoln University, one of the oldest historically African-American universities in the country.

The township made national news following the 2008 presidential election, when some voters were forced to wait literally all day in pouring rain in order to vote. Many voters had to leave without casting their votes, disenfranchised by inadequate polling facilities. Despite numerous warnings before the election that the cramped polling place would cause problems, the County Board of Elections had refused to change the location of the polling place – a tiny community center that could accommodate only two lines of voters, a small number of privacy booths, and a single ballot scanner. And even after the 2008 fiasco, the Board of Elections rejected a petition to move the polling place to the campus of Lincoln University, where it had previously been located for years.”
