Political Journal discussion on South representation in Congress
The Lewiston Journal excerpt argues that southern disenfranchisement of Black voters justifies reducing southern representation in Congress and the electoral college as outlined by the fourteenth amendment. It cites Blaine’s 1884 view against southern political inequality and urges unity in foreign policy while criticizing partisan attacks on presidential actions and U S policy toward China Germany and Russia amidst ongoing global tensions.
