Pasquotank County BOE Still Up to No Good

Pete Gilbert, Republican
mastermind of voter
suppression in Pasquotank Co.

The all-white Board of Elections staff in Pasquotank County is still hassling the mainly black student body at Elizabeth City State University. Early Voting began there on September 19.

This is where the now-famous Montravius King is running for Elizabeth City's town council, after being reinstated to the ballot by the State Board of Elections.

The only thing that's going to correct this situation is the intervention of the Department of Justice.
