Supreme Court school ruling could reshape 1956 election
Political observers say the court decision against school segregation will have election repercussions when 1956 ballot results are counted. The ruling by seven Democrats and two Republicans may boost the President’s appeal in Northern and Border states while not altering the Negro vote in the South. Analysts note about 3 million of 16 million Negroes are registered, with heavy Democratic leanings in key cities and states. The Negro vote could prove crucial in marginal districts, though many Negro voters are tied to Democratic alignment by other core issues.
