GOP attempting to purge 1 in 7 black voters from voter rolls

[Likely Voter]

It is sadly telling that as demographics have changed the GOP solution isn't to find ways to appeal to the new electorate but to find ways to get fewer people to vote (based on the assumption that their voters will be more likely to make it through the various new hurdles). Even if they succeed in the short term it will only come back to bite them on the ass in the future. Just look at how California has changed for the GOP post Prop 187.

If the government requires citizens to purchase something from the government (and ID) in order to vote, then it is a poll tax.

Plus the notion that the GOP are just trying to stop 'fraud' is shown to be a lie because in addition to purging roles and requiring IDs they are also trying to reduce early voting, especially on Sundays before elections (when black churches organize vote drives).

There is no great and honorable principle at hand, they simply want to be sure that there are barriers to vote for those less likely to vote for them. They have given up on appealing to these voters and just want them to go away.
