Just Another Mistake in Columbus Elections Controversy
A. Elmo Powell Jr., chairman of the Columbus County Board of Elections, defended actions in the Boston Precinct incident involving late registration. The letters and statements depict disagreement over whether registrants were properly eligible, with registrar A. B. Ward denying racial exclusion and detailing decades of past registrations. The public fight centers on whether Powell misled the public and if Ward acted within the law while handling Indian, Negro, and white registrants.
