Traditionally states have used the following ways to deny voting rights. 1) Poll tax 2) Poll questions 3) Residency issues 4) Registration issues The poll tax and poll questions have been, generally speaking, thrown out by the courts as being inappropriate denial attempts by the states.

However these have been much reduced in their illegal use by states through court protection of voting rights.
