Suit alleges anti-white bias in Miss.

MACON, Miss., Dec. 29 (UPI) -- The U.S. Justice Department is suing a Mississippi county Democratic Party chairman for discriminating against white voters.

The lawsuit alleges Ike Brown and local elections officials in Noxubee County challenged whites' voting status, rejected their absentee ballots and instructed voters to choose candidates according to race, ABC News reports.

It is the first time the Justice Department has claimed that whites suffered discrimination in voting because of race.

Brown called the lawsuit "bogus," and said it was politically motivated.
