- Description:
- County-by-county survey by the Voter Education Project, Inc. that found that Black voter registration in Tennessee stood at 242,000, while white registration was 1,600,000. The survey was conducted by VEP Research Assistant Claude Clopton and was the first such comprehensive effort to determine the level of Black registration in Tennessee since 1960. Mr. Clopton's survey found that levels of registration were fairly high in counties with large Black populations, indicating that voter discrimination was not now a major problem in Tennessee at the time of the survery.
