The implementation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 faced several challenges, including resistance from state and local officials in the South who were reluctant to change discriminatory practices. There were also logistical issues in deploying federal examiners to oversee voter registration and elections. Additionally, some states attempted to circumvent the Act by introducing new discriminatory measures, requiring continuous federal oversight and legal challenges.
