Abstract

The bear on of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) on black registration in Mississippi was dramatic. Black registration increased from 28,500 in 1965 to 406,000 in 1984. The influence of the VRA on black registration, however, varied across Mississippi counties. The touch of the VRA was peculiarly evident in counties having a large number of unregistered blacks. The presence of a large number of unregistered blacks patently stimulated a high level of civil rights activity, which then provoked federal intervention. Nevertheless, blacks are registered at lower rates than whites; blacks are less likely to vote than whites; and blacks are less probable than whites to exist elected to public role.
