Grandfather election clause would force literacy test vote
Guthrie Oklahoma May 18 Senator Taylor of Chickasha introduces a joint resolution to submit a grandfather clause for voting eligibility by a fall election. It requires reading and understanding state and federal constitutional sections if requested by registration officials, with registration extended to those whose forebears enjoyed suffrage under other governments. The measure mirrors a companion provision in the general election bill. Legislative action rushes to finish revenue, taxation, and appropriation bills by Wednesday.
