In 1948, the Arizona Supreme Court struck down a provision of its state
constitution that kept Indians from voting. Other states eventually followed
suit, concluding with New Mexico in 1962, the last state to enfranchise
Native Americans.
Even with the lawful right to vote in every state, Native Americans suffered
from the same mechanisms and strategies, such as poll taxes, literacy tests
, fraud and intimidation, that kept African Americans from exercising that
right. In 1965, with passage of the Voting Rights Act and subsequent
legislation in 1970, 1975, and 1982, many other voting protections were
reaffirmed and strengthened. |
