    An Assessment of Voting Rights Progress in Texas Prepared for the Project on Fair Representation American Enterprise Institute Charles S. Bullock III Richard B. Russell Professor of Political Science Department of Political Science The University of Georgia Athens, GA 30602 Ronald Keith Gaddie Professor of Political Science Department of Political Science The University of Oklahoma Norman, OK 73019 1 An Assessment of Voting Rights Progress in Texas In August 2005, Texas joined California, Hawaii and Mexico to become the fourth state in which most residents were not Anglo. According to Census Bureau estimates, 50.2 percent of the Texas population now belonged to a minority group. When the initial Voting Rights Act was crafted under the watchful eyes of President Lyndon Johnson, Texas was one of four southern states not caught by the trigger mechanism in Section 4. It is hardly surprising that the Texas president would set a threshold that would not bring his home state under the most demanding features of the legislation. The history of the Lone Star state is not free of racial disfranchisement, as University of Houston professor and Texas politics maven Richard Murray points out: In the immediate aftermath of the Civil War, blacks became a political force in Texas in counties that had high percentages of slaves. The Twelfth Legislature, elected under a new constitution pushed through by Radical Republicans, included two black senators and nine black representatives. Within a few years, however, white conservative Democrats regained control of Texas politics and began the systematic disenfranchisement of the African-American population, which was completed with the approval of a state poll tax in 1901 and the establishment of a white primary system.
