Guest yes, in august of 1920, 30 five states had ratified the 19th but the 36th state was elusive.

By mail, theyoted sold handle 450 million, there is no question if everybody voted by mail, they would be fine with that. The real question isnt the Postal Service, it will go to the Elections Office or the people voting, are the ballots accurate.

Dan i think one of the reasons that so many of our members are concerned is because just as this debate was beginning to get more visibility, the president said last week he thought additional money for the post office in the covid relief package should be withheld, because it would prevent mailin voting from taking place on the scale that many have called for. Now, you and a senator Mitch Mcconnell have made it clear that you both believe it should be in the budget, so help us some or establish clarity on what the president was trying to say. Rep. Mcca

That is Sexual Violence. We will come back a little bit to talk about jacobs in comparison to our case today, that of celia. We also talked about wpa narratives, and one of the things we noticed about those narratives is the extent to which some issues, including Sexual Violence violence generally, and Sexual Violence, in particular was rather muted in the slave narratives. And so here, we have with the celia case the opportunity to take another pass at this question, to try to see this dimension of slavery through the experienceli so, why do i say try to see this dimension of slavery . As you have all begun to see in your readings for today, there are many ways in which the record and the evidence upon which we rely to discover, explore, and understand the case of celia is a challenging record to make use of. So part of our work today will be to talk about the evidence in the celia case, how it is we recover from what is in essence the record of a trial a rather fragmentary, carefully
