Tuskegee Mayor Johnny Ford held a press conference Friday urging the citizens of Macon County to stand-up for their voting rights in wake of a possible shut-down. Ford's press conference was held in response to the governor and state attorney general asking law enforcement officials to shut down the newly reopened electronic gambling operations including VictoryLand. VictoryLand reopened on Sept. 13th. The casino had been shut since 2013 when the state seized the casino's gambling machines.
