Or possibly any other red state in this country. {Highlight to read} I wouldn’t put it past any of the inbred, ignorant red necks that live in those states and support Trump to do this………

In the town of Newbern, AL, apparently there has not been an election in six decades! Although roughly two thirds of the town residents are black, the white residents have been maintaining control of the town government through a “hand-me-down” form of government since at least the 1960’s. It seems that each white mayor has been appointing his successor, who has then been appointing the town council members, so that the positions have been handed down from one person to another without an election for over 60 years! In that time, only one black person has served within the town government.

Apparently, a black man (Patrick Braxton), ran for mayor unopposed in 2020 winning the position. He appointed a new council made up of both white and black residents, although all the white residents refused to serve. He and his town council were locked out of all the town buildings and given no access to the town financial accounts for over three years. The previous all-white town council held a secret meeting during which they held a secret election and appointed themselves as the town council once again.

The black residents of the town sued, and in an agreement put enforced by the federal government, another election was held this week in which Braxton won over a white candidate 66 votes to 26 votes, officially making him the mayor over four years after he was first elected.

I find it hard to believe that this kind of shit has been going on for six decades. This is the type of world which our MAGA citizens want to go back to - and exactly why Trump’s strongest support group is white males without a college education. Because the only world they can compete in is the kind of world which existed in Newbern, AL.
