Lack of sources does not constitute vandalism

A factual statement about Texas's history of disenfranchisement of African Americans and other minorities in the post-Reconstruction era is not vandalism. Yes, I was late getting back with a source, but the history is well established. Among its efforts, in 1905, Texas passed a law that established white primaries. When this was overturned after litigation, in 1923 the legislature passed a law establishing the Democratic Party primary as limited to whites. When this was challenged, it amended the law to allow political parties (as private entities) to establish their own rules for primaries. As the Democratic Party was the dominant party in the state, its primaries were the only truly competitive elections. This practice was declared racially discriminatory and unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court in Smith v. Allwright (1944).
