The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is still needed today because it ensures that all American citizens have an equal opportunity to register and vote in local, state, and national elections.
This law was originally implemented because Southern states used devices such as literacy tests, poll taxes, and grandfather clauses as a means to stop African-American citizens from voting after the Civil War. To ensure that this does not happen again, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 allows the federal government to oversee voter registration drives as well as polling sites.
