If that's true, how did they get on the ballot as recently as 1984 when they ran Gus Hall and Angela Davis as their Presidential ticket receiving over 36,000 votes?

guess its not enforced

Communist Control Act (68 Stat. 775, 50 U.S.C. 841-844)

here's what Wikipedia says:

"the Supreme Court of the United States has not ruled on the act's constitutionality. Despite that, no administration has tried to enforce it. The provisions of the act "outlawing" the party have not been repealed. Nevertheless, the Communist Party of the USA continues to exist in the 21st century." Originally Posted by nevergaveitathought

there's a good reason why its not enforced. its unconstitutional.

a similar law, Second Enforcement Act of 1871 (Klu klux klan act), was declared unconstitutional by the supreme court.
