US Virgin Islands: Right-to-vote lawsuit advancing in local court system, Virgin Islands Daily News (2012)

A case introduced in local and federal Virgin Islands courts in both districts suing several agencies for territorial citizens' right to vote and run for federal office advanced in the V.I. Superior Court's St. Thomas-St. John District. The case, which attorney Russell Pate filed last year, argues that federal voting rights have been denied since the United States bought the territories in the early 1900s - when segregation and Jim Crow laws prevailed amid fears of the new U.S. Virgin Islands' black majority.
