The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed to protect the right to vote. Federal observers would be placed at the polls to make sure all citizens had the right to vote. Areas in the South had, since the period of Reconstruction, failed to protect the Black's right to vote. Poll taxes, tests, and other means were used to discourage or prevent Blacks from voting. This gave the Democratic Party a solid hold on the Southern states because of the Republican Radical Reconstruction program. Even in the 20th Century, many Southerners still hated the Republican Party. Prior to 1964, there was no Republican candidate on the ballot for local, state, and federal offices in many Southern states.
