Nixon v. Condon, 286 U.S. 73 (1932), was a voting rights case decided by the United States Supreme Court, which found the all-white Democratic Party primary in Texas unconstitutional.

[1] With Smith v. Allwright (1944) the Supreme Court decisively prohibited the white primary.

He was again denied, on the ground that the resolution allowed only whites to vote (Nixon was black).

The defendants argued that there was no state action and therefore no equal protection violation, because the Democratic Party was "merely a voluntary association" that had the power to choose its own membership.

[1] Grovey v. Townsend (1935) and Smith v. Allwright (1944) were additional cases brought by African Americans to challenge Texas white primaries.
