"a systematic plan to disenfranchise black voters" remain under investigation,

The main problem from what I've read is that people with voter registration cards were not allowed to vote because their names had been erased from the records or their names had never been added to the records. For instance, the Vehicle Licensing Bureau was suppose to add names to the roster, at least in some areas, and they didn't do it.

Then, there were minorities and maybe whites as well who were accused of being felons and their names were erased from roster.

The point is that many names were erased from the main roster, most but not all were minorities. Too many names were erased from the roster for it to be an accident, in my opinion.

How would you feel if you showed your voter registration card and were told you couldn't vote?

I have heard black election workers say that they didn't think roadblocks were a problem at least in their area.

Jesse's mad though, and I can't blame him.

Best Wishes,

Mephisto
