Title	Minority should never outweigh the majority; August 31, [1968]
Description	From the AAEC Editorial Cartoon Collection. Cartoon by Eldon Pletcher. A large set of balance scales is labeled, "Recent voting patterns in Jefferson Parish." On the heavier side, labeled "30 percent voting (including the political bosses)" is a man holding a sign that reads, "How to vote." He is pointing with his finger upwards at the man on the lighter side of the scale. The second man is asleep and snoring while seated in a comfortable chair with his feet up. The chair is labeled "Voter apathy" and the scale side is labeled, "70 percent not voting at all." The cartoon caption reads, "The minority should never outweigh the majority."
