Abstract

It is not the purpose of this Article to deal at length with the evolution of judicial doctrine and legislative action affecting voting rights. Rather, I shall attempt a sketch of two things here: the background and implications of a recently decided case in which a state’s personal-registration statute was struck down by a federal court, and my own involvement in the case.
