It's probably not as effective at vote suppression as Jim Crow laws were,
but why is calling this a 21st century Jim Crow hyperbole?
We're probably a little more sophisticated than we were back then and we don't say the quiet part out loud as often as we used to. The goals seem to be the same: maintaining political power. It's a 21st century version of a 19th and 20th century tradition. More insidious, less overt, but likely to eventuate a similar outcome.
