Description

Pursuant to authority granted in 42 U. S. C. Â§ 1971 (c) (1958 ed., Supp. V), the Attorney General brought this action on behalf of the United States in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana against the State of Louisiana, the three members of the State Board of Registration, and the Director-Secretary of the Board. The complaint charged that the defendants by following and enforcing unconstitutional state laws had been denying and unless restrained by the court would continue to deny Negro citizens of Louisiana the right to vote, in violation of 42 U. S. C. Â§ 1971 (a) (1958 ed.) and the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. The case was tried and after submission of evidence, the three-judge District Court, convened pursuant to 28 U. S. C. Â§ 2281 (1958 ed.), gave judgment for the United States. 225 F.Supp. 353. The State and the other defendants appealed, and we noted probable jurisdiction. 377 U.S. 987.
