While such dramatic means of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VoterSuppression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VoterSuppression</span></a> occurred often enough in the Reconstruction South, tactics of electoral exclusion refined over time, such that by the mid-twentieth century the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JimCrowSouth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JimCrowSouth</span></a> relied largely on nearly impossible-to-pass literacy tests to impede free and fair elections.</p><p>"These tests, writes Rebecca Onion at Slate, were 'supposedly applicable to both white and black prospective voters who couldn’t prove a certain level of education' (typically up to the fifth grade). Yet they were 'in actuality disproportionately administered to black voters.'</p><p>"Additionally, many of the tests were rigged so that registrars could give potential voters an easy or a difficult version, and could score them differently as well. For example, the Veterans of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CivilRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CivilRights</span></a> Movement describes a test administered in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Alabama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alabama</span></a> that is so entirely subjective that it measures the registrar’s shrewdness and cunning more than anything else.</p><p>"The test here from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Louisiana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Louisiana</span></a> consists of questions so ambiguous that no one, whatever their level of education, can divine a 'right' or 'wrong' answer to most of them. And yet, as the instructions state, 'one wrong answer denotes failure of the test,' an impossible standard for even a legitimate exam. Even worse, voters had only ten minutes to complete the three-page, 30-question document. The Louisiana test dates from 1964, the year before the passage of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VotingRightsAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VotingRightsAct</span></a>, which effectively put an end to these blatantly discriminatory practices." <br> <br>Read more:<br><a href="https://www.openculture.com/2024/10/take-the-near-impossible-literacy-test-louisiana-used-to-suppress-the-black-vote.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">openculture.com/2024/10/take-t</span><span class="invisible">he-near-impossible-literacy-test-louisiana-used-to-suppress-the-black-vote.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Disenfranchisement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Disenfranchisement</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VoterDisenfranchisement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VoterDisenfranchisement</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VoterSuppression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VoterSuppression</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>History</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Elections2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Elections2024</span></a></p>
