Alaska Voting Rights Paradox in Federal Law
Jun eau Alaska AP The new voting rights law proves paradoxical for Alaska. It aims to end discrimination in the South yet complicates Alaska with liberal voting standards. The census director counted less than 3 percent of voting age residents cast ballots in the 1964 general election. Alaska requires one year residence and English literacy for voting, similar to many states, but Gov William A Egan argues the census count includes military personnel not counted as residents. Alaska lacks pre election registration. voters sign in at polling places. Gov Egan questioned how federal registrars would handle voters who cannot read or write English. The law lets states charged with racial discrimination sue in federal court to remove the label if no discriminatory tests or devices were used in five years.
