Voting access was limited through the ________ tax. The poll tax kept poor people of all races, but especially Black and Mexican Americans, from being able to participate in elections.
Another way to suppress voting rights was the White Primary. This was when only White voters were allowed to vote in Democratic primary elections. Because the political leadership in Texas was almost entirely Democratic, Black and Mexican-American voters were locked out of a key part of state elections.
