	Understanding Your Voting Rights
		These special provisions authorized the United States Attorney General to provide for examiners and observers to register voters and monitor elections, banned the use of tests, and also required these certain areas to submit any changes in their voting laws to the federal government for approval (this preapproval provision was called Apreclearance@).
		While the Attorney General was successful at objecting to many plans which attempted to dilute the strength of the minority vote, it was significant that many local governments continued to refuse to comply with the Act.
		States (and their subdivisions) can apply for early exemption from the special provisions by demonstrating a ten-year record of no voting discrimination, and by showing that they have complied with the law.

		The staff of the facility responded not by confirming or denying whether a staff member had AIDS, but by stating, as had Dr. Doe, that they followed accepted infection control procedures and that there was no risk during a physical examination.
		Thus, based on the district court's findings of fact, we hold that Dr. Doe has not carried his burden to make a prima facie case that he was otherwise qualified for the purposes of this action for damages.
