W. F. Turner : ウィキペディア英語版 | W. F. Turner W. F. Turner (circa 1911, Crenshaw County, Alabama – ?) was a United States Democratic elector from Alabama during United States presidential election, 1956. He is remembered as a faithless elector. Although he pledged to vote for Democratic ticket - Presidential nominee Adlai Stevenson and his running-mate Estes Kefauver, he cast his presidential vote on December 17, 1956〔(Our Campaigns - Candidate - W. F. Turner )〕 for a circuit court judge from his hometown, Walter Burgwyn Jones, totally unknown outside his area. However he voted for well-known United States Senator from Georgia Herman Talmadge for Vice President. Turner later commented about his decision: ''I have fulfilled my obligations to the people of Alabama. I'm talking about the white people,'' a comment which suggested that he opposed Stevenson and Kefauver, who were liberal on civil rights (unlike Jones and Senator Talmadge, known for his pro-segregationist stance).〔(CNN.com - Electors: Frequently Asked Questions )〕 ==References==
