The Voting Rights Act seeks to fix problems such as literacy tests. It did this using several sections.
1. Section 2 banned racial discrimination, and other parts said literacy tests were illegal.
2. Section 5 identified certain states or local governments with a history of voter discrimination and labeled them as "covered for pre-clearance."
3. They decided to use Section 4b for coverage of the preclearance.
All these laws helped fix the problems that the Voting Rights Act sought to resolve.
Because of the law, the number of African Americans registered to vote in the last five years was almost the number of votes by African Americans in the previous century.
