Being a voter or a Democrat was not a prerequisite for a relief job. Federal law specifically prohibited any political discrimination against WPA workers. Vague charges were bandied about at the time.[23] The consensus of experts is that: "In the distribution of WPA project jobs as opposed to those of a supervisory and administrative nature politics plays only a minor in comparatively insignificant role."[21] However those who were hired were reminded at election time that FDR created their job and the Republicans would take it away. The great majority voted accordingly.[24]
