Attorneys for Maryland voters argued before the Supreme Court on whether the Fifteenth Amendment bars state race based voting restrictions. They contended the amendment applies only to federal elections and not to state or municipal polls, urging limits on federal overreach into state functions.
The argument centers on whether Fifteenth Amendment constraints limit a state's control over its own electorate and the risk of turning states into mere dependences under outside power. Mr. Melvin contends voting rights do not extend to municipal elections. The Maryland case details white supremacy laws and a transfer of damage suits from Cecil to Talbot, linked to Havre de Grace railroad bridge actions.
