Montgomery, AL – Segregation-era language in the state's constitution is not likely to be a topic during 2006. Legislators say it would be a risky subject in an election year. In 2004, voters narrowly rejected a constitutional amendment to remove the wording. Amendment Two, lost by one-thousand-846 votes. One-point-38 million votes were cast. The amendment would have removed unenforceable language requiring voters to pay poll taxes and segregating public schools by race. It also would have removed language sating that there is no constitutional right to a public education in Alabama.
