Unjust Criticism Sparks Debate On Voting Machines
The Bessemer community criticized an editorial aired on WJMS about voting machines. City officials decided against installing machines, preferring to save $10,000 and rely on existing methods. The piece notes local election boards are politically balanced and must pass qualifications. It also includes opinions on federal tax cuts, inflation, and government spending. The column links Kennedy Khrushchev Cuba crisis commentary to broader U.S. policy and the Monroe Doctrine ramifications.
