"Nick Saban to Joe Manchin: Pass Voting Rights You Little Hoe"
"University of Alabama football coach Nick Saban and other prominent sports figures with ties to West Virginia have penned a letter to Sen. Joe Manchin, urging the West Virginia Democrat to help his party pass voting rights legislation.
NBA Hall of Famer Jerry West, ex-NFL player and former West Virginia athletic director Oliver Luck and ex-NFL and former West Virginia football player Darryl Talley joined Saban in voicing their support for what they called "urgently needed legislation that will protect both the rights of voters and the integrity of outcomes in all Federal elections." The letter was also signed by former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue, who has no known ties to West Virginia."
