Article says that "Congress had passed an act requiring all states to register citizens between the ages of 18 and 21 as voters." Is there a link to this decision somewhere? Aslaveofaudio (talk) 18:21, 14 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

mainly moot

edit

Elsewhere (Twitter in particular), my neutral point of view has been called into question on my edit in 969695589. While its true that my motivations were perhaps less than pure, I think my neutral point of view remained intact. Others may disagree, and in an effort at full disclosure, mention it here. If any editor disagrees with my edit here, I invite you to undo it. I would, however, appreciate a mention here or on my talk page. Thanks. Rklahn (talk) 06:50, 27 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

I don't know about (or care to get involved with) your Twitter dispute, but I will say that the part of the case that upheld the Voting Rights Act's ban on literacy tests and other discriminatory practices is not "moot" and continues to be in force today. –Prototime (talk · contribs) 17:46, 29 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Oh, I wish I had never gotten involved either. I could digress, but wont. Thanks for your time and edit. I think it made a huge improvement. Rklahn (talk) 19:08, 29 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
I have changed the wording in the lead to more accurately describe the relationship between this case and the Twenty-sixth Amendment. –Prototime (talk · contribs) 17:58, 29 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
