    Mississippi Finally Ratifies 13th Amendment, Thanks to ‘Lincoln’

    Dr. Ranjan Batra, an associate professor of neurobiology and anatomical sciences at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, set the wheels in motion after viewing the Oscar-nominated film in November. Through some Internet research, he discovered the state had never formally ratified the 13th Amendment. Oh sure, it had voted to ratify it in 1995, but it wasn’t official since the state had never notified the U.S. Archivist.

    Batra shared the discovery with his colleague, Ken Sullivan, who continued Batra’s work to right the wrong. Sullivan eventually managed to track down a copy of the 1995 resolution, which was passed by the state’s House and the Senate, and brought the embarrassing and glaring error to the attention of Mississippi Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann. At the end of January, Hosemann sent the Senate resolution to the Office of the Federal Register.

    Ranjan Batra, aka a MACACA by Repugs, did it.

    I bet if LA, AL, MS, GA, and maybe AR repeated the ratification vote today, it wouldn't pass.

    yes that is a contradiction in itself I hate contradiction type of behavior. kinda like the double standards in comedy. black comic can make any joke and call a white person any name go after Jews Muslims. But let a nonwhite comic say a nigg3r joke and see what happens.

    well, actually, probably not true, because today, the ex-slaves would for ratification, if their votes were not suppressed, and were counted accurately.

    So repeat 13th ratification vote only with whiteys.

    Yeah I read about this earlier today.

    The funniest part is the "filing error" that occurred in 1995 when the amendment was (supposed to be) originally ratified.

    How the do you misfile the 13th amendment? Mississippi
