The development of central ideas about voting challenges differs significantly between the pandemic section and the historical background. The pandemic section highlights contemporary obstacles to voting, illustrating how current events have introduced new barriers that may diminish the understanding of historical voting discrimination. In contrast, the historical background provides a context for systemic barriers that have existed over time, emphasizing the long-standing and entrenched nature of voting discrimination. Together, these two perspectives create a comprehensive view of voting challenges, but they focus on different aspects—one on immediate, contemporary issues and the other on historical injustices that have shaped voting access.
