Voter Registration Requirements

Lauren Said:

I need help with the last 5 out of 50 questions on my Government homework?

We Answered:

1) The term came from southern states that set literacy tests for voters but allowed those whose grandfathers had voted in the state exemption from the test. It was used to exclude black voters.

Now any new law that sets out requirements for something but allows current practicioners exemption from the requirements is called 'grandfathering'.

3) The only votes that count in the election of presidents are electoral votes. While USUALLY the candidate with the most popular votes also has teh most electoral ones, it isn't always the case.
