A social media comment with racial undertones made
by a Mississippi election commissioner sparked outrage
across the state on the same weekend state legislators
voted to retire the flag and its Confederate emblem.
"I'm concerned about voter registration in Mississippi,"
the commissioner wrote. "The blacks are having lots (of)
events for voter registration. People in Mississippi
have to get involved, too."
Gail Welch's comment caused an uproar Sunday, as screen
shots of the comment spread quickly on Twitter, Facebook
and Instagram. Welch said she has received calls and
messages from all over the country about the post.
