Re: Please share your states voting shame stories.
I'll tell you a weird story about voting shame...<br /><br />Right here in Richmond, VA. {Note - I am not a true Virginian, southerner, "redneck", etc.... I am from Poughkeepsie, NY originally} Since I moved here in 1996, I knew that Richmond, VA is rich in civil war history. We have a famous avenue that leads to downtown called "Monument Ave." - which is fitting as it has huge monuments erected of Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Jefferson Davis, JEB Stuart, etc... but the most strangest, most bizarre monument, is one of the famous tennis player, the late Arthur Ashe (born/bred/raised in Richmond, VA).<br /><br />Yes everyone.... Arthur Ashe has a monument among the historical civil war monuments! Go figure... PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS WRONG - I AM IN NO WAY RACIST, BUT THIS TOTALLY DEFIES ALL RATIONAL EXPLANATION! I'LL GIVE YOU THREE GUESSES AS TO WHO VOTED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MONUMENT AND IT'S LOCATION! <br /><br />Butch A.
