10 Voter Suppression Methods

# Summary

Josh and Chuck dive into a comprehensive top 10 list of voter suppression tactics used throughout American history and continuing into modern times, exploring everything from poll taxes and literacy tests to voter ID requirements and polling place closures. They explain how these barriers disproportionately impact Black voters and other minorities, despite voter fraud being statistically nonexistent, and discuss how the 2013 Supreme Court decision gutting the Voting Rights Act has allowed suppression tactics to resurge across the country. The episode combines historical context with current examples to show how obstacles to voting have evolved from the Reconstruction era through today, all while maintaining that robust voting access is essential to a functioning democracy.
