Gen. Keifer of Ohio yesterday introduced a bill to reduce representation in Congress for eleven Southern states where it is alleged the black vote has been disfranchised. The plan draws specific reductions for Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and others, aiming to shift political power within states and in the electoral college. He says the measure does not regulate suffrage but seeks to rebalance power to preserve republican government, citing voting populations and cast ballots as basis for the proposed cuts.
