Convicted Felon Seeks Voting Rights Restoration in Federal Suit
Gary Allen, Aiken civil rights activist and used car dealer, petitions federal court to restore his voting rights. Convicted in May 1970 of three counts of forgery, he served 13 years with sentences concurrent and was released June 30, 1972, on probation until May 29, 1977. The suit argues South Carolina law discriminates against Black citizens by denying due process and equal protection in registering and voting, seeking class action status for others similarly situated.
