From when did you pull out that little gem?

About Grandfather Clauses? Seriously?

Here's Louisiana's:

Sec. 5. No male person who was on January 1st, 1867, or at any date prior thereto, entitled to vote under the Constitution or statutes of any State of the United States, wherein he then resided, and no son or grandson of any such person not less than twenty—one years of age at the date of the adoption of this Constitution, and no male person of foreign birth, who was naturalized prior to the first day of January, 1898, shall be denied the right to register and vote in this State by reason of his failure to possess the educational or property qualifications prescribed by this Constitution

You want more? I have more.

Many moons have gone by since I was in college and I may have been instructed in the grandfather clauses. I just don’t remember. But obviously, you have the goods, so I concede.

I can say with a great deal of confidence that in Shelby County, Alabama, of those students whom I knew, none got a pass on taking the test.
