Right to Vote for Blacks still a Major Problem in US

From White Sheets to Spreadsheets - A day after the historic Selma march, Greg Palast on how voter suppression is denying millions the right to vote and keeping the South Republican.


I was glad that the writer of the song Glory mentioned this quickly in his acceptance speech at the Academy Awards. Happened to see the movie Selma last night on the fiftieth anniversary of the march. I loved the movie but wished there had been at least a mention in print at the end that blacks in the South continue to be denied the right to vote in significant numbers - enough to turn elections at all levels including president.

Greg Palast dot com - where that article originated. He's been exposing how American elections are rigged since before the first Bush Jr. stolen victory. - DC
