The twenty fourth amendment made the poll tax unconstitutional what was the poll tax and what do you think might have happended if the poll tax had not been abolished?

The poll tax was enacted, primarily in the South, to force people to pay a tax to be allowed to vote. Most people agree that this was a legislated form of racism, as it resulted in preventing poor African-Americans from being allowed to vote because they could not afford the poll tax. Of course, it also meant that the poor of any race could not afford to vote.
