TODAY – February 27, 1922 – Womens’ right to vote was ACTUALLY – FINALLY secured when SCOTUS ruled that the 19th Amendment was constitutional.
“Oscar Leser, a judge, sued to have their names removed from the voting rolls, on the grounds that the Maryland constitution said only men could vote, and that Maryland had not ratified the new amendment to the federal constitution — and in fact, Leser argued, the new amendment wasn’t even part of the constitution at all.”
Oh, Oscar….I hope you are rolling over in your grave today – and, every day.
