Almost 40 years after civil rights marches in Selma, Alabama, the town is once again under scrutiny. The democratic party is hauling dozens of white residents before a Democratic Executive Committee panel to try to find out who voted for whom in the democratic primary. Voters that refuse to answer to the subpoena, are threatened with jail time.

At the center of the controversy, according to Fox News, is LaTosha Brown. Brown, who is black, lost to Yusuf Salaam, a black Muslim democrat, by a mere 138 votes. Brown claims that a number of Salaam voters were actually people that had crossed over from the Republican ballot in the June 4th primary to the Democratic ballot in the June 25th runoff. While "crossover" voting is legal in GOP primaries, Democratic primary rules forbid it. Several seasoned citizens were afraid they were going to be thrown in jail by the 5 member panel, and have said that they are afraid to vote ever again.
