The [[Democratic party]] exercised '''voter suppression''' of the [[African American]] vote in [[the South]] for the first 100 years after the [[Republican]]-controlled [[Congress]] and states passed the [[15th Amendment]].  The whole point of a century of [[Jim Crow]] laws was to never allow the Republican party to benefit from promoting Black equality and freeing the slaves. In 1964, a near unanimous Republican caucus with a handful of [[Democrat]]s passed the [[Civil Rights Act of 1964|Civil Rights Act]] allowing for [[federal]] intervention to end [[Jim Crow]] laws in Blue States.  Since passage of the Civil Rights Act, as the South became less racist it became more Republican, contradicting the [[DNC]]/[[fake news]] of a "[[Party switch myth|party switch]]" and "[[Southern strategy]]".

'''Voter suppression''' in the 21st century occurs mainly through defective voting machines, polling stations running out of paper, and other means of turning registered voters away from polling stations.

 

Voter suppression occured through [[discriminatory]] practices at polling stations and often through intimidation and violence by the [[terrorist]] wing of the Democrat party - the [[Ku Klux Klan]].

In the [[2020 presidential election]] and [[Biden Putsch]], the Democratic party suppressed the vote of 71 million Americans.
