The correct answer is that poll taxes, literacy tests, unfair laws, and violence kept many people of color from voting. Despite the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, which granted women the right to vote, many barriers continued to prevent people of color, particularly African Americans in the South, from exercising their right to vote. These discriminatory practices were systematically employed to suppress their votes and maintain racial segregation and inequality in the electoral process.
