Including the late Congressman of the 1st CD who said..."We do not need the Federalization of State Elections."
Nor did he support Federal standards that Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act provided regarding pre-clearance. I challenged him on that and my response to that was removed from his then Congressional FB page.

leave the field at this time, but he left his legacy to fight on.
That's a really great picture from the anniversary march in Selma.
