Lassiter v. Northampton County Board of Elections

Lassiter v. Northampton County Board of Elections, 360 U.S. 45 (1959), was a case challenging the constitutionality of Northampton County, North Carolina's rule requiring that potential voters pass a literacy test to vote, appealed from the Supreme Court of that state.
==Ruling==
The opinion of the court, delivered by Justice William O. Douglas, held that provided the tests were applied equally to all races, were not "merely a device to make racial discrimination easy", and did not "contravene any restriction that Congress, acting pursuant to its constitutional powers, has imposed", then the literacy test could be an allowable use of the State's power to "determine the conditions under which the right of suffrage may be exercised".〔''Lassiter v. Northampton County Board of Elections,'' 360 U.S. 45 (1959). Findlaw.com; retrieved 2010-12-07.〕
In practice, such tests were administered by white voting officials in a discriminatory manner to disfranchise minorities. Given the results from states' using such devices for decades, Congress subsequently prohibited use of such tests under the Voting Rights Act of 1965, drafted to protect citizens' constitutional rights to vote and provide federal oversight.
