Today, we don’t see organized violence or literacy tests or poll taxes, but the art of preventing minorities from voting has improved dramatically. Now
Republican state legislatures are using data and computer algorithms to purge inconvenient voters, gerrymander districts, institute racially motivated voter ID laws, and close key polling places in order to maximally suppress minority votes.
I spoke to Anderson about the history of voting rights in America, why the fight for suffrage never ends, and why she believes voter suppression is an existential threat to American democracy.
A lightly edited transcript of our conversation follows.

Black voter turnout fell by 7 percent in the
2016 presidential election. How do you account for that decline?
Carol Anderson
I attribute it to the fact that this was the first presidential election in 50 years without the protections of the Voting Rights Act. We saw in a number of states — including Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Texas, Kansas, Florida, and others — that Republican state legislatures implemented voter suppression laws that very deliberately targeted minority groups, especially black voters. And it’s pretty clear that those suppression efforts were successful.

Across the country, Republican governors, secretaries of state, and state lawmakers — some of whom are on the ballot this fall — have been tightening the restrictions on voting in dozens of states citing concerns about voter fraud.
The result is that voters in North Dakota, Ohio, Missouri, Kansas, and New Hampshire, among other states, are facing restrictive voter ID laws and
purges of voter names from the rolls. These restrictions often benefit Republicans, studies have found, because minorities, young voters, and others who might struggle to meet their requirements often vote Democratic.
In Georgia, allegations of voter suppression against black voters have reached a boiling point — heightened by the fact that the Republican candidate for governor, Brian Kemp, is also the current secretary of state and in charge of state elections.
Voter fraud is extremely rare. As
Vox’s German Lopez has written, a study by Loyola Law School professor Justin Levitt found just 35 credible allegations of fraud from 2000 and 2014 — out of more than 800 million ballots cast. But Republicans have hammered on the specter of voter fraud for years, and President Donald Trump made a pet issue since winning the election while losing the popular vote in 2016.
