Facts
Harper (P) brought these suits to have Virginia's (D) poll tax declared unconstitutional. The Virginia Constitution required the State to impose an annual poll tax of $1.50 on every resident 21 or older. The district court followed the Court's decision in Breedlove v. Suttles and dismissed the complaint. P appealed, claiming the right to vote in state elections without paying a poll tax.
