Jeff Sessions and the 1985 Voter Fraud Case

A Frontline clip details a 1985 case where then-U.S. Attorney Jeff Sessions indicted civil rights activists Albert and Evelyn Turner for voter fraud in Alabama. The activists were helping black residents with absentee ballots. Although a jury found them not guilty, the hosts use this to show the long history of legal pressure surrounding absentee voting and how Stacey Abrams might face similar "persecution."
