Georgia county agrees to restore black voters' rights

"Hancock County Board of Elections members maintain that they weren't targeting or trying to intimidate black voters by sending sheriff's deputies to summon people to appear before them and prove they lived in the county."

Suuuure....

"The methods they used would have required federal pre-approval if the Supreme Court hadn't struck down provisions of the Voting Rights Act two years earlier. The justices ruled that federal oversight is no longer necessary in many places, but advocates say purges of voter registration lists remain common across the South, particularly in rural and poor areas."

Sigh...

interesting...
