Question 4 • US History

How did states discriminate against nonwhite voters? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A

B
by intimidating African American voters at the polls
C
by allowing only white voters in primary elections
D
by charging voters taxes before they could vote
E
by asking African Americans to vote only in primaries
F
by sponsoring voter registration drives

Explanation

States restricted nonwhite voting through intimidation and discriminatory election rules. They intimidated African American voters at polling places, barred them from white-only primary elections, and imposed poll taxes that voters had to pay before voting. Sit-ins, marches, and voter registration drives were efforts to challenge or overcome discrimination, not methods states used to discriminate.
