The chronological order of how events led to modern-day restrictions on voting rights is:
- After Reconstruction, discriminatory voting laws are passed that disenfranchise people based on race.
- The Voting Rights Act of 1965 requires federal oversight of voting rights in districts with a history of discrimination.
- More African Americans, Native Americans, Latinos, and Asian Americans vote and are elected to office.
- The Supreme Court rules in Shelby v. Holder that criteria to determine which districts need federal oversight are no longer valid.
- States again begin passing laws to restrict voting rights.
<h3>What is the history of voting rights in U.S.?</h3>
After the Reconstruction that came with the end of the Civil War, Southern States enacted laws aimed at keeping minority groups from voting.
These laws were overcome with the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and more minority groups like African and Latino Americans were able to vote and get into office.
With the Supreme Court ruling in Shelby v. Holder in 2013 however, states began imposing restrictions again and especially in minority districts.
