Instapundit pointed me to this FBI tweet:
Fair elections are the foundation of U.S. democracy. Foreign influence in our elections won’t be tolerated, and the #FBI will continue to work with local government and private sector partners to disrupt and expose any attempts to erode confidence in the U.S. electoral system.
Like the Voting Rights Act of 1965?
The act banned the use of literacy tests, provided for federal oversight of voter registration in areas where less than 50 percent of the non-white population had not registered to vote, and authorized the U.S. attorney general to investigate the use of poll taxes in state and local elections.
People questioning the fairness and accuracy of southern elections were obviously conspiracy theorists.
"The act banned the use of literacy tests, provided for federal oversight of voter registration in areas where less than 50 percent of the non-white population had not registered to vote..."
ReplyDeleteI think you mean "in areas where less than 50 percent of the non-white population had registered to vote..."
Copied and pasted from Wikipedia. Either way someone was spreading conspiracy theories.
