Evans filed suit in Virginia, in 1944, over poll tax irregularities. She and her husband, a private in the U.S. Army, relocated to the state in July 1943 from West Virginia. The following January, Evans went to the courthouse to request information about voting. She was informed that as she was not a resident of the state on January 1, 1943, no taxes were due from her to register for 1944, but that she had to register before October 7. Friends advised her to seek a second opinion and she returned to the courthouse to inquire again. She was advised that an amendment to the law did require her to pay a poll tax for 1943. She paid the assessment in September 1944 and registered to vote. In November, Evans was not allowed to vote in the election, as she had not paid the tax six months prior to the election. She then challenged the constitutionality of the poll tax. Attorney General Staples concurred with the allegations and Jones was awarded damages and a judgment was entered in her favor; this allowed the state to avoid a federal hearing on whether charging a poll tax was a valid voting qualification. In December 1949, Jessie Butler, an African-American woman, was refused the right to register to vote in Virginia because of unpaid poll taxes. She filed suit against the registrar of Arlington, Mary A. Thompson, claiming that the requirement to pay poll tax was enacted to disenfranchise black voters and violated federal equal protection laws. The federal district court denied her request to convene a three-judge statutory court to evaluate the constitutional questions. Butler appealed to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals which ruled that a statutory court should be convened. The three-judge panel ruled that the tax was fair and equally administered, regardless of why it had been enacted. The U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the decision in 1951. In 1964, Victoria Gray and Ceola Wallace, black women from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, challenged the state poll tax law on the grounds that it violated the recently passed Twenty-fourth Amendment by limiting their ability to vote. After ratification of the Twenty-fourth Amendment, which outlawed poll taxes as a qualification for voting in federal elections, the Mississippi Legislature had enacted a measure requiring voters to obtain a receipt for non-payment of the taxes.

Harper, who was joined by Gladys Berry and Curtis and Myrtle Burr, brought suit against the Virginia Board of Elections arguing that the poll tax denied them equal protection because they were poor. Evelyn Thomas Butts filed a separate complaint, which was combined with the Harper litigants as a companion suit. Her fellow plaintiffs were variously reliant on social security, their children's or their husbands' earnings or disability benefit. All were on low incomes and each had child care responsibilities. As with prior cases, it was dismissed, appealed and then referred for adjudication by a three-judge panel in the Eastern District Court of Virginia. The judges ruled that poll taxes were constitutional citing Breedlove. The cases were appealed to the Supreme Court, which ruled in Harper v. Virginia State Board of Elections (383 U.S. 663, 1966) that Virginia's poll tax violated the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses. Justice William O. Douglas wrote in the majority opinion, "Wealth, like race, creed, or color, is not germane to one's ability to participate intelligently in the electoral process." The ruling affirmed that the right to vote was fundamental and could not be conditional upon paying a tax. It was a landmark decision, eliminating the poll tax as a barrier to state and federal elections. In 1966, Bessie Mae Huntley, Mary Helen Kohn, Joe Booker, and Robert Buchanan filed suit against the Holmes County, Mississippi Board of Supervisors. The plaintiffs, who were all black citizens, said the poll tax had prevented them from voting in a recent bond issue to improve the County Community Hospital. They asked the Federal District Court in Jackson to restrain the county from implementing the bond issue until an election including all eligible voters could be held. On April 2, 1966, the court refused to grant an injunction, but six days later the same court, with a different three-judge panel, ruled on a case brought by the Justice Department under the Voting Rights Act that the Mississippi poll tax was unconstitutio ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Mar 2021 08:21:49 -0500 From: "Triggers Alzheimers" Subject: Brain Scan Uncovers Real Cause Of Alzheimer's...

The federal Expatriation Act of 1907, which automatically changed a woman's citizenship upon marriage to that of her spouse, compounded the problem of racial identity. American-born women who married foreigners became citizens of their husband's country and lost their entitlement to vote. Men could vote if they filed an affidavit that they had an intention of acquiring U.S. citizenship, but unless their husbands were citizens, women could not vote, regardless of their husband's intent to become a citizen. Women in these cases were required to provide a copy of their marriage license and their husband's naturalization papers, since they had no individual nationality. After World War I, legislation such as the Thomason Law and the alien suffrage law of 1918, which restricted voting to citizens, curtailed the participation of women, as well as black and immigrant groups, because prospective voters who had been citizens for at least twenty-one years, were over age sixty-five, or were disabled could receive assistance even if they were illiterate. The federal Immigration Acts of 1921 and 1924 were passed to stem concerns that white authority was dwindling and in effect extended segregation from blacks to other non-Anglo populations, creating separate public facilities for other non-white groups. Before World War I, Latina women were considered to be white, but after these laws were passed Hispanic voters were excluded from white primaries. Activists registering voters argued that they would have to redouble their efforts in areas that were predominantly Anglo in order to prevent voter registration in areas with large Mexican-American populations from overwhelming the Anglo vote. Poll taxes disenfranchised Mexican Americans because their low wages made payment of the tax a hardship. Lulu B. White, president of the Houston chapter of the NAACP in the 1930s and state director of the organization in the 1940s, worked for anti-poll tax initiatives and held rallies against poll taxes, as part of her civil rights platform. During World War II, the issue of poll taxes took a backseat to the war effort, although activists like Eugenie Terry, the local representative for the American Association of University Women, worked to keep momentum for repeal alive. The state chapter of the League of Women's Voters, along with other women's organizations, supported electoral amendments proposed in 1949, which allowed voters to cast ballots anonymously and would have eliminated the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. The measure failed, but efforts began again in 1963 and once again the League of Women Voters campaigned for the elimination of the system of paying to vote. The attempt was unsuccessful, and the poll tax system remained in effect until February 9, 1966, when a federal three-judge panel declared that it violated the Due Process Clause of the United States Constitution. Though the state law requiring payment of poll taxes in order to vote was rendered void by the decision, and the legislature passed a resolution that year to abolish it, the amendment was not formally approved until 2009, when it was reintroduced by Congresswoman Alma Alle ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Mar 2021 07:57:13 -0500 From: "Manhood Elongation Ritual" Subject: Husband Offers His Wife To African Tribesmen To Find Elongation Secret Husband Offers His Wife To African Tribesmen To Find Elongation Secret http://growable.cyou/tn0opEREpDv8KkMe--esh2jHHYibN1T-EqektpmB_7_mfazy http://growable.cyou/mZLOwv32pa78sZgjvTttPpOCUD7_JXVsGsYePFqNyRjbj42F rginia the anti-poll tax movement began in the 1920s. Among the organizations active in the movement were the Virginia chapter of the Federations of Women's Clubs, the Parents and Wives of Fighting Americans, the Virginia Electoral Reform League, the Virginia Reform League, and the Virginia Teacher's Association. As early as 1932, the state League of Women Voters warned that inability to pay the tax, because of high unemployment, would have an impact on elections. From the late 1930s, feminist members of the Women's Division of the Democratic National Committee began to fight to repeal the tax. Attempts were made in 1941 and 1945 by the state legislature to revise the pay to vote method, but the 1941 effort was a failure and the 1945 bid resulted in a committee study, which delayed any action until 1949. That year, the Campbell Amendments, based upon the committee study, were put on the November ballot. The amendments were vaguely worded and referred only to what sections of the constitution were to be changed without providing a method to eliminate the poll tax or a new registration procedure. This resulted in the League of Women Voters, the NAACP, the YWCA, and other groups which had been pressing for repeal, opposing their adoption. The amendments were defeated 206,542 to 56,687. The legislative session of 1950 began with a push from Beatrice Foster, president of the state chapter of the League of Women Voters, continuing the repeal efforts. A bill passed the state House, but died in a Senate committee. The following year, the League conducted a public survey and, based upon its results, began a campaign, led by Carolyn Planck of Arlington, to eliminate the poll tax. Planck and delegates from the Councils of both Catholic and Jewish Women, the Federation of Women's Clubs, and the Junior Chamber of Commerce, met with the legislature in 1952, speaking in support of a poll tax repeal bill. As in 1950, the bill passed the House but never made it out of committee in the Senate. Hearings were held in 1954, by joint committees of the Virginia General Assembly, to determine whether poll tax as a prerequisite to voting should be abolished. Among those who spoke on behalf of repealing poll taxes were Adele Clark from the Virginia Council of Catholic Women; Naomi Cohn, representing the YWCA; Florence Lewis, a Miami, Florida activist and board member of the National Council of Jewish Women; and Lois Van Valkenburgh, director of the League of Women Voters' poll tax committee and other leaders from the Virginia Teacher's Association and the Virginia Voters League. Neither legislative body was willing to put forward a resolution in 1954 or 1956, in part because their focus was on the prevention of school desegreg ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Mar 2021 09:31:00 -0500 From: "Teds plans" Subject: Get busy with these easy-to-use woodworking projects Get busy with these easy-to-use woodworking projects http://promindcomplx.cyou/IKYv9AA-d_0oXUMbA6JNcm6MR5JgACn2ymp2Re4eJhVjEejB http://promindcomplx.cyou/ilZ1r53IetyRzAlxSA1rIBN34EfFUqCI1BlkRPRE2GVPfiCK yment of a poll tax was a prerequisite to the registration for voting in a number of states until 1965. The tax emerged in some states of the United States in the late nineteenth century as part of the Jim Crow laws. After the right to vote was extended to all races by the enactment of the Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, a number of states enacted poll tax laws as a device for restricting voting rights. The laws often included a grandfather clause, which allowed any adult male whose father or grandfather had voted in a specific year prior to the abolition of slavery to vote without paying the tax.[citation needed] These laws, along with unfairly implemented literacy tests and extra-legal intimidation, achieved the desired effect of disenfranchising African-American and Native American voters, as well as poor whites. Proof of payment of a poll tax was a prerequisite to voter registration in Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia (1877), North and South Carolina, Virginia (until 1882 and again from 1902 with its new constitution), and Texas (1902). The Texas poll tax "required otherwise eligible voters to pay between $1.50 and $1.75 to register to vote b a lot of money at the time, and a big barrier to the working classes and poor." Georgia created a cumulative poll tax requirement in 1877: men of any race 21 to 60 years of age had to pay a sum of money for every year from the time they had turned 21, or from the time that the law took effec ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V14 #6104 **********************************************
