An election commissioner in Mississippi claims her intent wasnt to be racist despite posting on Facebook that she was concerned because the Blacks are having lots of voter registration events.
According to a report from the Clarion Ledger, Jones County election commissioner Gail Harrison Welch is now pushing back at people who have questioned the integrity of the election commission where she serves after she made the comments on social media last week.
Despite all of one Mississippi lawmaker coming out against Welchs comments, as of today she still holds a position of electoral oversight in a county made up of almost 30% Black residentsand in an election year when racial equity will definitely be on the ballot.
I wonder which way shed like the vote to go?
