History

Historical Context

In August 1965 President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act, banning literacy tests and allowing federal examiners. It registered about a quarter-million Black voters that year, reshaping Southern electorates. Today Rep. Tom Tiffany’s push to bar private grant money from Wisconsin elections revives the same partisan fight over voter access, intensified after the 2013 Shelby County v. Holder ruling.
