3.13 Extending Voting Rights

Question 5 • 670401 American Studies S1 – MYERS, JOSHUA A

What exception was created to proving literacy in order to vote, according to the Oklahoma state law? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
“Currently living in a foreign country”
B
“Registered to vote before January 1, 1866”
C
“The child of someone registered to vote”
D
“Registered as an elector”
E
“Unable to read and write”

Explanation

Oklahoma’s literacy-test exception was a grandfather clause: people who had been entitled to vote before January 1, 1866, and their descendants were exempt from proving they could read and write. That matches being registered to vote before that date and being the child of someone who was registered to vote.
