SCOTUS will eventually decide the legality of these laws. No one here other than Robert has any qualifications to show you about anything of a legal nature. By stating the question the way you did it is a fair assumption to say you think the laws are not racist. Why not ask to show me why the laws are racist or not racist?
This is literally the opposite of how a question should be treated.
"mommy, is 2 plus 2 equal to 4?"
"why do you think it's NOT 4?!!! Tell me why you think it isn't!!!!"
Spey, it's OK if you don't know the answer.
Heck, I don't know either.
But it's on the news as if it's fact. They call them "Voter Suppression Laws". And the conversation identifies those suppressed as being persons of color.
But with nothing to show WHY or HOW it suppresses them.
They are meant to suppress one thing: Fraud.
If they fail, or worse, if they DO suppress minorities disproportionately, then we should discuss THAT. Not the fancy media tags or headlines.
