White Primary is abolished in GA
The white primary in GA banned African Americans to vote in democratic elections. So by the time African Americans voted they had already found the winner. Therefore African Americans vote didn’t count towards the election. They did not break a law doing because black people still voted, it just didn’t count. The reason why the court banned it was because it was very unconstitutional.
