Disfranchise 25-50% of male votes was the effect of property qualifications on voters and candidates in the new states.

To add, the Twenty-fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which took effect on 23 January 1964, outlawed property qualifications for voting in federal elections by abolishing all poll or other taxes as requirements for voting.
