Voter Suppression

Summary

Voter suppression refers to various strategies used to influence the outcome of elections by discouraging or preventing specific groups of people from voting.

Detailed Description

Voter suppression tactics can include restrictive laws or policies, misinformation campaigns, and intimidation at the polls. These practices disproportionately impact marginalized groups, including minorities, low-income individuals, and the elderly. In modern contexts, voter suppression can manifest through measures such as strict ID requirements, purging of voter rolls, limiting the locations and hours of polling places, and aggressive misrepresentation of the voting process in media.
