Court upholds literacy test ruling in voting case
Court opinion by Chief Justice White overturns Oklahoma and Maryland laws that barred voters by race or by ancestors who could not vote before 1866. States may impose literacy or property tests but cannot use them as a subterfuge to deny Negroes the vote. The decision rejects grandfather clause restrictions as unconstitutional.
