And, a Third Virginia County Votes to Keep Their Confederate Monument

I just found out that there was a third Virginia County that voted to keep their Confederate monument where it is.  And that one would be Nottaway County.

There, 68% of the people voted to keep it.

Now, remember, Blacks pretty much all voted to move it and then there were the liberal white Democrats that also would vote to move it.

Kind of says something.

The other two counties were Middlesex and Matthews.

But, remember these are non-binding votes and the politicians can still remove them.

Again, I am not against removing Confederate monuments from public places, but this must be done with respect and dignity.

Nottaway County is also the home of Fort Pickett, named for Confederate Major General George E. Pickett.  It is used primarily as a Virginia National Guard training facility.  It's name  will be changed by a federal directive aimed at all military bases named after Confederates.

Personally, I think all statue removals should be put to the public vote and not a group of politicians.

Let's Just Hope the Politicians in These Three Counties Heed Public Opinion.
