A non-racist and honest Republican speaks
Well, sure, I suppose. You can go ahead and suppress the Detroit vote, just so you don't go and get all racist about it ...
State Rep. John Pappageorge, R-Troy, acknowledged using "a bad choice of words" but said his remark shouldn't be construed as racist.
Pappageorge, 73, was quoted in July 16 editions of the Detroit Free Press as saying, "If we do not suppress the Detroit vote, we're going to have a tough time in this election."
