@Valereee: Alright, I found the dates from the JSTOR source. On page 229, "On October 14, COFO representatives formally announced the Freedom Vote campaign," and page 240, "The Freedom Vote election was planned for November 2 through November 4" and "Campaign workers hoped that the three-day voting period would enable them to reach more of the state's 425,000 voting-age blacks." One of the other sources states the time range more directly, but I wanted a more diverse range of sources. Also, I'm considering changing the SNCC as taking a leading role to Bob Moses of the SNCC taking a leading role. Thoughts? --MalachiReschke (talk) 17:33, 13 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
Currently, I’m not doing anything. It’s currently finals weeks and I’m dedicating all my time to schooling. When it’s over next week I’ll be investing more time into editing. Thanks for checking in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MalachiReschke (talk • contribs) 15:41, 15 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
