"Let the laws be enforced by the white people of this country," cries Harry Byrd. He does not mean all the white people-or even most of them. Poll taxes and some of the nation's most restrictive registration laws hold Virginia's vote to the hard core of Byrd followers: never in history have more than 35% of Virginia's adults voted in a presidential election; Lindsay Almond was elected Governor by only...
