The Voting Right Act
Every Vote Counts!
Let's Be Equal
We can bans racial discrimination in voting practices by the federal government as well as by state and local governments.
Aganist Poll Taxes
The VRA well also not included a provision prohibiting poll taxes. Poll tax is to be unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment as it state by the Supreme Court.
The Effects
Soon after the VRA, federal examiners were conducting voter registration drives, and black voter registration began to increase.
