Fateful Maryland issue seeks to curb illiterate vote
The Maryland platform argues to amend the state constitution to bar illiterate black voters while allowing native and naturalized citizens who cannot read to register if they meet age and residency. It cites illiterate white voters and compares tax status, warns against a tax based suffrage, and frames the issue as relief from illiterate enfranchised Africanism amid historic party opposition and recent political currents.
