The Justice Department has already brought suit against Alabama Secretary of State Agnes Baggett, charging that the state's registration requirements are unconstitutional-including a 20-page test on government and the Constitution so difficult that Chief Justice Earl Warren might well have trouble passing without a favorable nod from the registrar.
