The Twenty-Fourth Amendment is yet another amendment aimed at modifying the voting electorate. In this case the target was the unjust use of poll taxes to stop people from voting if they could not pay the tax. These poll taxes were most often targeted at blacks, poor whites, and women if the State in question did not want those parts of the population to vote. This amendment banned the use of poll taxes, or any other tax, to deprive people of the right to vote.
