California. Connecticut. Delaware. Maine. Massachusetts. New Hampshire. New York. Oklahoma. Oregon. Washington. and Wyoming all require some form of literacy test. Laws governing the right to vote have been enacted. amended. contested in State courts. and tested by long experience by the citizens of the several States since the formation of the Nation. It would be a constitutionally indefensible act for Congress to assume the duties so long exercised by the States. It cannot be successfully contended that the Members of Congress know more about proper qualifications for voters in any given State than do the members of that States legislature.
