This article draws together information which has been scattered among several articles (such as Poll tax not showing the relationship with Literacy test. Some info belongs here more than in other articles (such as in Jim Crow laws). More editing of this article will be needed before material can be removed from other articles. Edit away.

It needs to be updated. I replaced one "must" with a "had to". 204.52.215.107 ( talk) 13:11, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
The article has many inaccuracies of time and fact. I've made some changes, but it needs extensive citations to support the constitutional changes and assessments of their impacts.-- Parkwells ( talk) 20:11, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
Article jumps around in time and concepts. Needs much more work.-- Parkwells ( talk) 20:37, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
Given the title of "Disfranchisement", some of the article seems oddly more directed at highlighting constitutional reforms in northern states that expanded suffrage. Whether or not that data is provided only for contrast, the section on Southern actions should come first. If the article is to be more general, maybe the title should be "Turn of the century state constitutions", but that does not focus enough on the severe problem of disfranchisement.-- Parkwells ( talk) 18:26, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Also, the title implies that it ought to also deal with the disenfranchisement of former Confederates, which was a major part of Reconstruction, though later revoked. john k ( talk) 15:36, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
There is extensive documentation of the issues and facts discussed here, and I've been working to find sources - did not start the original article, but this is not original research. Please allow time for sourcing before deleting material. -- Parkwells ( talk) 20:10, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
Article could use an image of orderly black voting - I've seen one or more from contemporary Harper's Weekly articles. Help would be appreciated in locating one.-- Parkwells ( talk) 13:51, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
I found a 1949 edition of "The Encyclopedia Britannica, Junior", and under an essay titled, "Carpetbaggers", I read: "After the Civil War, black freedmen gained the right to vote, and white southerners lost their right to vote because they had participated in the secessionist rebellion. "Northern political and manufacturing interests ("carpetbaggers") came south to organize the new freedmen ex-slaves into voting blocks which might favor northern economic interests in the south. "Many Freedmen (even though maybe unable to read) were elected as community leaders after political campaigns financed by northern political and manufacturing interests. "Bankruptcies of southern families were common, and tensions grew. "One of the outcomes was the rise of the KKK, and a southern hatred of the north." Hmm, ..seems quite a subject! Why have I never heard of the "disenfranchisement" of the entire south? ..Why is this never mentioned in school? I abhor slavery, all political disenfranchisements, and all dishonest political maneuverings. We are a democracy, right? But this (new) information informs me a bit on why such dastardly things as KKK and segregation find their emotional underpinnings. It should be discussed as common knowledge. Especially since we already commonly discuss those terrible outcomes brought about by people's destructive and dishonorable responses to those pressures. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Calcarp ( talk • contribs) 01:29, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
This article is confusing because it uses the term "disfranchisement", rather than "disenfranchisement" (emphasis supplied) which is the more common term in American English.
Virginia has long allowed a voter who is otherwise eligible and will be eligible with respect to age by the time of the next general election to register in advance and to vote in any intervening primary or special election. (Source: Constitution of Virginia, Art. II, Sec. 1, http://legis.state.va.us/Constitution/Constitution.htm)
Since the information is in a graphic which requires an outside program to edit it, I could not make this change. I hope that someone who can update it will do so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.10.129.215 ( talk) 22:59, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
This article was moved without discussion on this Talk page to "Disenfranchisement after Reconstruction era" despite use of "disfranchisement" by most historians of this period. An editor moved it based on material at "The Grammarist" [1]. Parkwells ( talk) 20:48, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
Editors should not change the spelling of book titles, as in Glenn Feldman's The Disfranchisement Myth. This is a historic fact. Many historians have continued to use "disfranchisement" even if the popular version has become "disenfranchisement". Book and article titles should not be changed.
