Southern state legislatures primarily used methods such as literacy tests, poll taxes, and understanding clauses to suppress black voter turnout. However, one method that is not typically associated with these efforts is the abolition of the electoral college, which is a federal mechanism and not a state-level tactic for disenfranchisement. Other methods, like gerrymandering, were also used, but they were more about manipulating district boundaries rather than directly targeting voter eligibility.

Nothing. They didn't let them vote.
Southern state legislatures employed various methods to suppress Black voting, such as literacy tests, poll taxes, and understanding clauses. However, one method that was not used is the implementation of a nationwide voting franchise, which would have guaranteed voting rights for all citizens regardless of race. Instead, the focus was on creating barriers that specifically targeted Black voters to maintain white supremacy.
