Judge: County(Democrats) violated whites’ voting rights
“Every American has the right to vote free from racial discrimination,” said Wan J. Kim, assistant attorney general for the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division.
“The court’s ruling is another victory in the department’s vigorous efforts to protect the voting rights of all Americans,” Kim said.
The Justice Department alleged in the 2006 lawsuit that Noxubee County blacks tried to shut whites out of the voting process.
Brown had claimed the Justice Department was misconstruing as racial intimidation his attempts to keep Republicans from voting in Democratic primaries. (and that is somehow better?)
Lee, who presided over the case without a jury, gave attorneys on both sides until July 29 to file briefs suggesting how to end the discrimination. The case was a civil matter carrying no criminal penalties, but defendants who violate Lee’s final order could face contempt of court charges and fines, prosecutors said.
Ricky Walker, who is white and the county’s prosecuting attorney, believes Brown recruited an opponent to run against Walker in 2003 simply because of Walker’s race.
“We’re glad to be getting it over with so we move on and get to the point where maybe we can just have fair, honest, impartial elections here and just go about our business and not have to go through all this circus to get an election done,” said Walker, who was a Justice Department witness during the trial in January.
Walker, who is unopposed this year, said the lawsuit created some unrest in the county “that we were getting past … blacks and whites starting to support people on their ability to fulfill the job rather than just strictly a political or racial basis.”
The judge said there was a pattern to Brown’s efforts to keep all whites out of the county’s Democratic Party, including holding party caucuses in private homes rather than public voting precincts and inviting only blacks to the meetings.
Lee said he could not find that the defendants had a specific animosity against white people.
“Brown, in fact, claims a number of whites as friends,” Lee wrote. “However, there is no doubt from the evidence presented at trial that Brown, in particular, is firmly of the view that blacks, being the majority race in Noxubee County, should hold all elected offices, to the exclusion of whites; and this view is apparently shared by his allies and associates on the NDEC, who, along with Brown, effectively control the election process in Noxubee County.”

This is not any different than John Street’s regime in Phylthydelphia. When Democrats are in power it corrupts them absolutely.
