Supreme Court Strikes Down Louisiana Ballot Race Labeling Law
The Supreme Court struck down as unconstitutional a 1960 Louisiana law that required listing the race of political candidates on ballots. Justice Tom C. Clark, writing for a unanimous court, said the equal treatment claim was superficial as race dictated the statute’s impact, creating discrimination. The challenge, by Dupuy Anderson and Ace J. Belton, African American candidates for East Baton Rouge Parish School Board, followed elections on July 28, 1962 and a September 1 runoff.
