Black Americans still face obstacles to voting at every step of the process

 

Black Americans still face obstacles to voting at every step of the process



  • Black Americans still face massive disparities and inequalities in accessing the right to vote 150 years after the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment, which extended the franchise to Black men.
  • Due to ongoing racial disparities in felony charges and convictions, Black Americans are more likely than whites to be disenfranchised due to having a felony record. 
  • Black voters also face barriers in many places to registering to vote at all, staying on the voter rolls, and having their mail-in ballots counted.
