“These results add credence to what many critics of restrictive voting laws have long suspected. First, voter-ID laws and other, similar statutes aren’t passed in a vacuum, but rather in a country where people of color are significantly less likely to be able to meet the new requirements. Whether intended to discriminate or not, these laws discriminate in effect, and while there is no evidence that they’ve averted any kind of fraud, there is plenty of data detailing just how they’ve created Republican advantages. In that way, Trump’s chances in 2016 may have turned not only on the approval or disapproval of white voters, but also on how effectively state laws, access issues, and social penalties conspired to keep black and Hispanic voters away from polling places.”
The study concludes that race base voter discrimination and suppression won Donald trump the 2016 election.
The courts are currently being stacked with “states rights” crypto confederates, so a remedy in the court system seems unlikely in the near term.
Really not sure how to overcome this blantantly racist voter discrimination besides waiting for boomers to start dying of old age.
