Why are you blaming Democrats? It is our judicial system that is throwing these new laws out as proven discriminatory. That decision has nothing to do with political parties.

It's neither "abhorrent" nor "racist" to point out when these laws measurably discriminate against minorities more than whites. And overturn them in the courts for that very reason. And that they discriminate against the young and elderly more than the middle-aged. And overturn them for that reason.

Civil Rights Act. Voting Rights Act. They are the law. They matter. Poll taxes are illegal. Making it more difficult for certain demographics to vote is illegal. You cannot illegally disenfranchise American citizens from voting, just because you don't like the political party they will vote for.
