HISTORICAL FACTS: Gop activist latino names suspicious - Caught on Camera

The leader of a right-wing “election integrity” activist group in North Carolina was recorded in a virtual meeting telling volunteers to flag voters with “Hispanic-sounding last names” because they might be a “suspicious voter,” according to a video obtained by CBS News.

"It doesn't mean they're illegal. It just means they're suspicious,” the man, James Womack, said in the video. He is founder and president of the "North Carolina Election Integrity Team," a group that purports to investigate potential voter fraud in the battleground state. Womack is also the chair of the Republican Party in Lee County.
