No one has been denied the right to vote in history of Alabama? @repjohnlewis nearly died marching for voting rights in Selma. Only 2% of blacks registered there in 1965. There were literacy tests, poll taxes, grandfather clauseshttps://twitter.com/johnhmerrill/status/926546875184041984 …

Well when he said “no one”,
@JohnHMerrill was talking about individuals. To him, black folk aren’t people; at best, they’re property. :(

He did say “no one has been denied... if qualified.” Would seem that he thinks literacy tests and the like were legitimate disqualifiers. He is either deeply ignorant or racist. I’m going with the latter.

Its part of the "we dont count them" narrative. Drop drip drip of misinformation, gradually rewriting the history and the narrative, for their base.
