New Jersey voting laws
Need help with my Political Science question – I’m studying for my class.
In your responses, make sure to cite whenever you are relying on information that is not your own individual thought. Also remember that you will be drawing on some of this information when writing your final paper, so the more carefully you cite now, the easier the final paper will be. Answer each question simply wrote( don’t try and sound fancy) and deitled.
Was any portion of your state under pre-clearance between 1965 and 2013 under the Voting Rights Act? How did voter turnout (particularly among minorities) in your state change in the decades between 1965 and 2013?
Has your state made any drastic changes in its electoral rules since Shelby County v. Holder (2013)? For instance, Texas and North Carolina have received attention for quickly and drastically altering their electoral rules (arguably to engage in voter suppression) since no longer being under clearance.
