Which of these are results of the Voting Act of 1965? Choose three correct answers.

Answer

B
Fewer legal barriers exist to prevent African Americans from voting.
C
Fewer African Americans are registered voters.
D
More discriminatory voting laws have been created.
E

Explanation

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 gave the federal government stronger tools to protect equal access to voting and challenged discriminatory practices that had blocked African Americans from registering and voting. As more African Americans were able to vote, more also gained opportunities to serve as elected officials. Therefore, the correct results are more federal enforcement tools, fewer legal barriers, and more African American elected officials.
