The Republican Party launched an election integrity effort in the 1964 election, which included newspaper ads and poll watchers to intimidate people into not voting, especially black and Latino voters. They claimed that voter fraud had taken over the country and that the previous presidential election had been rigged. Today, the party continues to use similar strategies, such as forensic audits and lawsuits, to allege voter fraud in the 2020 election and suppress people's right to vote. By understanding the historical context, we can better anticipate and respond to these tactics in the future.
