The 1944 action of the Supreme Court voiding the white primary ended the last effective legal block to Negro voter registration in the South. After that, resort to legal steps to block Negro registration was either outlawed by the courts or else could only be a delaying device. In the state of Louisiana, however, the decision in Smith v. Allwright did not result in Negro registration comparable to white registration. In 1956, twelve years later, 30 percent of the potential Negro voting population was registered, compared to 73 percent of the whites. This study is an investigation of some factors in that discrepancy, and in particular, of the differences in registration between Catholic and Protestant areas.An important characteristic of Negro registration in Louisiana is the extreme range of variation to be found among the several parishes. Table I shows 17 parishes with fewer than 20 percent of the eligible Negroes registered, and 11 parishes with 70 percent or more of the potential Negro vote registered. Therefore, the statewide "average" percentage of Negro registration has little meaning without more detailed interpretation.

An inquiry as to whether religio-cultural variables in the South, long celebrated as the 'Bible-belt' of the nation, are related to Negro-White pol'al relationships insofar as these can be defined by practices & att's toward Negro registration. The findings emphasize the importance of religio-cultural factors in defining White att's & practices toward Negro registration. In the southern French-Catholic parishes of Louisiana the % of Negroes registered is more than twice as great as in the northern Anglo-Saxon Protestant parishes. SE factors, urbanism & Negro-White pop balance, account for some of the diff. Yet where non-religious cultural factors are held constant, as in cotton plantation areas with large Negro pop's, the religio-cultural variable emerges as a clearly influential factor in Negro registration.
