[quote/]
Echoing the language of the 15th Amendment, the Act prohibits states from imposing any "voting qualification or prerequisite to voting, or standard, practice, or procedure ... to deny or abridge the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color."[3] Specifically, Congress intended the Act to outlaw the practice of requiring otherwise qualified voters to pass literacy tests in order to register to vote, a principal means by which Southern states had prevented African Americans from exercising the franchise.[2] The Act was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson, who had earlier signed the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law.[2][4
Designed to help put an end to Jim Crow voter intimidation, poll taxes, and literacy tests for voters.

It really freaks me out how much voter intimidation, confusion, and manipulation is being used in this (the 2012) election.
@Min... Your home state is being particularly bad about it (no reflection on you of course!)... They even sent out voter information that has the date of the election as November 6th in English, but November 8 in Spanish... Accident or not, it's unclear, but Arizona doesn't really have a good track record in the Latino relations department.
