    Where the Secretary of State in Alabama says he is “not aware of any time in the history of the state where any individual has been denied the right to vote.” He really just said that.https://twitter.com/johnhmerrill/status/926546875184041984 …

    Counselor, there is no confusion. The confusion has been created by these trolls who are trying to change the conversation. I am not aware of any time in the history of the state where any individual has been denied the opportunity to vote in the general election if qualified.

        Has he ever heard of slavery, segregation or women? Probably not. I bet none of this was mentioned in his school text books.

        He did say "if qualified". Being white was a qualification.

        Wait a minute. Alabama? The one that sits between GA and Mississippi? Or...maybe there is another Alabama I am unaware of.

        "... if qualified." To him, none of the people denied were "qualified" because their skin wasn't white enough.

        Ah but the weasel words are "if qualified", and the Alabamians made DAMN sure that no POC voted for years & years by moving those qualifications around.

        Jimmy Lee Jackson was killed. Mrs. Amelia Boynton was manhandled by Sheriff Jim Clark when she tried to register to vote. The DOJ showed that the Black Belt Counties had single digit black registration. Lowndes had zero percent.
