Congress determined that the existing federal anti-discrimination laws were not sufficient to overcome the

resistance by state officials to enforcement of the 15th Amendment. The legislative hearings showed that the
Department of Justice's efforts to eliminate
discriminatory election practices by litigation on a case-by-case

litigation would have to commence anew.
