comparing liberal concerns about voter ID to conservative hysteria about undocumented folks voting?
-
One can believe both that voter ID is bad and that attributing all turnout change in a state to voter ID = hysteria

But the combo of voter ID laws, cross-check, caging, and the drug war? That's definitely voter suppression.
-
The article ending on "Clinton seems to be looking to blame everyone ― Wisconsin’s voter ID law, Russia, Comey ― rather than seeing her 1/2
-
2/2 own weaknesses as a candidate." shows the kind of oversimplifications that the article itself claims to decry.
-
The blog post cited as expert proof also leans heavily on a Times article which was anecdotal at best.

Whether they tip elections, there's moral aspect to trying to stop minorities from voting. I'd like to see that acknowledged in these pieces
-
And I'd argue that this truthtelling-about the American tradition of disenfranchisement-is even more important
-
Were just arguing whether the laws are working. Lawmakers in WI, NC, PA have been incredibly open that theyre TRYING to suppress black votes

You are confusing overstating the consequences with overstating the effects. The effect was eligible voters turned away at polls, period.

Voter suppression would be wrong if it never affected the outcome of a single election. People have a right to participate in elections.

In 2016 Lowest turnout in WI in 20 years. 40k fewer voters in Milwaukee. Study shows 200k may have been prevented.

Given the slim margins, I think it was a factor. I ALSO think voter suppression will be an even bigger factor in '18/'20--VRA v important
-
So I think it's v dangerous to be complacent about voter suppression efforts. This includes gerrymandering too, btw.
-
I think it's no accident that states w/neutral redistricting means & strong VRA (like CA) went so strongly Clinton.
