1963 Freedom Ballot

 * ... that nearly 80,000 black Mississippians casted a vote in the 1963 Freedom Ballot mock election, four times more than the number of officially-registered black voters? Source: "Nearly 80,000 blacks came out to vote, four times the number of blacks registered to vote in the state."

 * Comment to reviewer: I've offered to help this very new editor through this process. I've got the review on my watchlist, but feel free to ping me at any point. --valereee (talk) 10:48, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia - excellent first article! Basic DYK criterion have been met, and the hook sounds good, but I'm going to nitpick the article's contents a bit:
 * Article says that COFO is 4 organizations and is dominated by SNCC - can you quote the relevant passage from the JSTOR source, because I can't seem to find it? Generally, might be useful to use the rp template for that source.
 * "first integrated ticket for state leadership of Mississippi since the Reconstruction" - if I'm interpreting the source correctly, it says that it's the first "black and white" integrated ticket, not just any integrated ticket?
 * "from October 14 to November 4" - can't seem to find it in the source.
 * Otherwise, it would be good to go once these are resolved! Juxlos (talk) 14:35, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
 * , thank you! MalachiReschke and I will take the discussion to the talk page. Feel free to look in there if you like, and thank you for starting the review! --valereee (talk) 16:50, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

 * , the editor had said they'd get to it, but they've wandered off for now; I'll go make the fixes! --valereee (talk) 11:32, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
 * done, would you please check the concerns? I've also tweaked the hook a bit to clarify. --valereee (talk) 11:37, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Will examine this later tonight or so. Juxlos (talk) 19:22, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg issues fixed. I take it the author is new and does not need QPQ. Juxlos (talk) 22:35, 23 July 2019 (UTC) |}}
