Answer:

Yes ..it totally did

Step-by-step explanation:

Smith v. Allwright, 321 U.S. 649 (1944), was a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court with regard to voting rights and, by extension, racial desegregation. It overturned the Texas state law that authorized parties to set their internal rules, including the use of white primaries.

White Primary. A state primary election that restricts voting to whites only; outlawed by the Supreme Court in 1944
