Voter suppression Laws is not a new problem. It has been a part of the United States from the beginning of the 20th century. The set of laws that we all know is the Jim Crow Laws. These laws were put in place to stop Afican Americans from having the right to vote. Some examples of the Jim Crow Laws are literacy tests and jelly bean count. The literacy tests consisted of a few questions to test your knowledge at an education level. The jelly bean count was a guessing game that was used to not let Afican Americans have the right to vote. If you failed the literacy test or the jelly bean count you were not giving the right to register to vote. These laws that were in place during the Jill Crow era turned hundreds of Afican Americans away from having the right to vote.
