Bill to Bar Negro Vote Near Passage in Arkansas Legislature
In Little Rock on February 21, the Arkansas legislature moved toward action to revise the Democratic primary system to restrict black voters. A House measure, backed by Rep. J. L. Linder and signed by 80 of 100 representatives, would require only two primaries by eliminating preferential primaries. Other bills seek to divorce state and federal primaries, or let parties set voter qualifications. Meanwhile, votes focused on soldier voting, union dues limits, and consolidating 98 special funds into one treasury account. The legislature advanced budget and appropriation measures with the House approving 38 budget bills and the Senate 23.
