Wow. Meet Gail “Karen” Harrison Welch. County election commissioner for Jones county, MS who doesn’t want black people to vote.

Racist election commissioners are on the ballot in MS.

You can also file an ethics complaint with the MS state gov’t here:

1. That is f'd up.

Can she be removed? She doesn't care that the mistake is her opinion, not the voicing of her opinion.

2. Maybe she could encourage white people to register?

3. Maybe the Dems get organized and hold lots more registration drives and get volunteers to help....

...people get to the polls on election day, if mail in ballots aren't allowed. This is not rocket science DNC!
