Why poll tax ordinance fail?

The poll tax ordinance failed primarily due to widespread public opposition and legal challenges. Many viewed it as regressive and discriminatory, disproportionately affecting low-income individuals and marginalized communities. Additionally, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1966 that poll taxes in federal elections were unconstitutional, which undermined its implementation at state levels. This combination of activism, legal rulings, and changing public sentiment ultimately led to its demise.
