The Voting Rights Act of 1965 prohibited discriminatory barriers such as literacy tests and gave the federal government stronger tools to enforce voting rights. As more African Americans were able to register and vote, more could serve as elected officials. Therefore, the correct choices are more African Americans serving as elected officials, fewer legal barriers to voting, and more federal tools to protect equal voting rights.
