The bill reaches the House floor despite Rules Committee opposition and allows a committee chair to bring up approved legislation after 21 days. Southern opponents claim Congress lacks power to regulate state voter qualifications and urge a constitutional amendment or state action to end poll taxes. Mrs Norton argues the tax disenfranchises thousands of Black and white voters, citing federal officers often elected by a minority vote in poll tax states.
