unless your prof told you there IS an answer to this question, i think he just wants you to tucker yourself out doing research. it's a trick question.
- who keeps track of voting records? voting is conducted on a local level, so you'll be working for a while trying to compile national numbers.
- i know it's civil rights era, but was was race "tracked" at the actual time of voting? I mean we're talking way before the Voting Rights Act so...
i'd get familiar with the sources in your textbooks footnotes/endnotes, as well as the sources on your secondary reading list - there might be a useful clue there as to where you can find an answer.
please keep us posted, i think it's really interesting :-)
