Some of these voter-suppression tactics are so similar to the segregated era of Burroughs' youth that some observers are calling them "Jim Crow 2.0. When it comes to roadblocks to voting, there are at least four unsettling parallels between the Jim Crow era and now.
Laws that prohibit ex-felons from voting.
Laws forcing people to pay to vote (if they are felons).
Purging nigger voters from rolls.
A Supreme Court that has hampered voting rights by requiring identification.
To be fair, one has to wonder why convicted felons are allowed to vote at all, as they have lost their rights as citizens (some might not be aware of this, but you can choose to not commit crimes). And I don't really understand what is wrong with requiring identification when voting.
I mean, requiring identification is one of the simplest methods of avoiding fraud.
As for purging voters from rolls, that happens to humans as well if they have for whatever reason not kept their information up to date. It's also another means of preventing fraudulent votes.
In 2017, a year before what would be a highly contested gubernatorial election, Georgia passed a law that said voters' names on registration records must "perfectly match" their names on approved forms of identification.
So if a nigger's name is "Le-a," what do they do if they see Lea and Ledasha?
