Question

the voting rights act of 1965
○ prohibits discrimination in voting and voter registration.
○ expired in the late 1990s.
○ has no significant provisions for enforcement.
○ applies only to federal elections, not state and local elections.
○ was strengthened by the 2013 supreme court decision shelby county v. holder.

Explanation:

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was enacted to prohibit racial discrimination in voting and voter registration. The other options are incorrect: it has not expired (provisions have been adjusted but core parts remain), it has enforcement provisions, it applies to state and local elections too, and the 2013 Shelby County v. Holder decision weakened some of its provisions.

Answer:

A. prohibits discrimination in voting and voter registration.
