Lawmakers Move To Enact Right To Vote Law
Washington AP reports the House completed action on the 1960 civil rights bill with a 288 to 95 vote, sending it to President Eisenhower for signature. The measure would allow federal courts and appointed referees to register Black voters where discrimination exists, along with provisions to curb obstruction of federal orders and to preserve election records, with enforcement promises from Attorney General Rogers. The bill advances beyond southern opposition but falls short of civil rights advocates’ demands, while experts anticipate court challenges and ongoing enforcement efforts.
