The organization is asking that more voter machines be provided, paper ballots are offered as an alternative if lines are too long and that poll hours are extended.
Virgina Republicans say those kind of last minute changes could give Democrats an unfair advantage.
Ben Jealous, president of the NAACP, maintains that there is a disparity in readiness between black and white precincts.

Political Quote Of The Day
“I don’t go with this Bradley Effect.That was what, 1984? That’s last century. America’s made a seismic shift as far as race goes.

There aren’t enough African Americans in this country to get Obama elected. He took the Iowa caucus!”
