60 years ago, veterans took up arms on election day in Tennessee

ATHENS, Tenn. (AP) -- If video of U.S. soldiers fighting in the name of democracy a world away isn't enough to inspire voters in an election year, Harold Powers thinks they should know about the day when GIs just back from war took up arms at home to make their votes count.

The "Battle of Athens" began Aug. 1, 1946, when veterans in the GI Non-Partisan League opened fire on the local jail to stop a courthouse ring from stealing an election.

The GI rallying cry: "Why fight overseas for freedom and come home and be denied the right to have your ballot counted?"
