(>t the total 97 were Democrats. 38 Republicans and three listed themselves as Independent. Registrars in the Kings Moun tain precincts wore es(>eeiaHy busy, as they along with others enforced the new rule requiring all would-be registrants to dem onstrate proof that they can read and write, firs: by reading a portion of the North Carolina Constitution, then by writing it Ralph Gilbert, chairman of the county board of elections, said adoption of the federal civii rights bill last July dictated the requirement whereby all would be voters must prove reading and writing ability. No longer are registrars permitted to log in new voters without the reading4 writing tests, even though the registrars know "of their own knowledge" the registrants are literate. Literacy is .» pre-requi site to voting in North Carolina and has been for many years. "The federal law does not jnt mit discrimination." Chairman (filbert said.
