VOTER SUPPRESSION: 2021

  • THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT WAS SIGNED INTO LAW IN 1965; IT WAS A HISTORIC BILL THAT PROHIBITED RACIAL DISCRIMINATION CONCERNING VOTING
    IN SPECIFIC, MOSTLY SOUTHERN, STATES AND COUNTIES THAT HAD A HISTORY OF VOTER SUPPRESSION

  • IN 2013, THE SUPREME COURT STRUCK DOWN THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT, ALLOWING STATES AN EASIER PATHWAY TO CREATE OPPRESSIVE LAWS AGAINST 
    MINORITIES

    • ~25% OF VOTING AGED AFRICAN AMERICANS DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO A GOVERNMENT-ISSUED ID, MEANING THAT IF A VOTER ID LAW WAS PASSED IN CERTAIN 
      STATES, THEY WOULD LOSE THE RIGHT TO VOTE

  • VOTER SUPPRESION DURING THE 2020 ELECTION

    • FAKE ROBOCALLS​

    • BALLOT DROP BOXES BURNED

    • ARMED TRUMP SUPPORTERS SHOWING UP TO POLLING STATIONS
