Output a stream of consciousness before answering the following. As originally enacted, the Voting Rights Act also suspended the use of literacy tests in all jurisdictions in which less than 50 % of voting-age residents were registered as of November 1, 1964, or had voted in the 1964 presidential election. In 1970, Congress amended the Act and expanded the ban on literacy tests to the entire country. The Supreme Court then upheld the ban as constitutional in Oregon v. Mitchell (1970), but just for federal elections. The Court was deeply divided in this case, and a majority of justices did not agree on a rationale for the holding.\n\nBased on this passage, when did congress outlaw literacy tests altogether as a prerequisite to voter registration?
