  11. Voting Rights Southern whites found ways to disenfranchise (deny voting rights) to blacks. They created poll taxes and literary tests to keep many blacks from voting. Some states used a white primary that only allowed whites to participate in primaries. The Democratic party excluded blacks from their political party and thus they could not vote in primaries. Gerrymandering (redrawing lines of voting districts) was used to cut the populations of blacks up so they could not have a majority vote on a candidate who might represent their interests. When lines were redrawn, black votes were diluted and lost influence. Source: http://www.4uth.gov.ua/usa/english/laws/majorlaw/voting/intro_c.htm
