On Sunday, March 5th, civil rights activists gathered in Selma, Alabama to commemorate the 52nd anniversary of the march for voting rights for African-Americans.

Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill's recent comments about Alabama's voter ID law during the #Selma52 ceremony hit a nerve with voting rights advocates who argue Alabama is one of many states engaging in voter suppression.

Merrill joined Roland Martin during Monday's edition of NewsOne Now to discuss his remarks, voter fraud, and voter ID legislation.
