Damn, we've had articles on this already.
These racist fucks still haven't relented? Sucks seeing new ones or updates on how the situation hasn't improved. I think the federal government has to consider stepping in at some point when the state government won't do it because they endorse the racism. This town is also fucked up because for over 100 years they just didn't have elections because they would just put whoever they wanted in charge. Talk about a fucked system, and of course it was racist right-wingers doing it lol. DeadBankerDream posted... How can a 133 people town have a mayor? Who else would be in charge?

This issue actually needs more attention. I know a small village in Alabama can act like the Civil War ended just last year, but I don't think the state government can plug their ears that much on something like this.

The feds would have to find a federal statute/law being broken. Not saying there isn't one, but elections are unfortunately an area where most of the power resides with the state, just like education. Election laws are state laws. It has only ever lead to racist fuckery. I'd prefer more federal control, but you'd have to change the Constitution to do that. --- Putin delenda est ... Copied to Clipboard!
