No one is trying to make sure someone doesnt vote.

It's sad how brainwashed you are.
I bet you know juuust a little bit that you're wrong, but you're too proud and too big and strong and manly to admit that.

Seriously. It's common knowledge. There's even a Wikipedia article about it .
Republican efforts to restrict voting following the 2020 United States presidential election
en.wikipedia.org
Following the 2020 United States presidential election and the unsuccessful attempts by Donald Trump and various other Republican officials to overturn it, Republican lawmakers initiated a sweeping effort to make voting laws more restrictive within several states across the country.[2][3] According to the Brennan Center for Justice, as of October 4, 2021, more than 425 bills that would restrict voting access have been introduced in 49 states"with 33 of these bills enacted across 19 states so far.[4] The bills are largely centered around limiting mail-in voting, strengthening voter ID laws, shortening early voting, eliminating automatic and same-day voter registration, curbing the use of ballot drop boxes, and allowing for increased purging of voter rolls.[5][6] Republicans in at least eight states have also introduced bills that would give lawmakers greater power over election administration after they were unsuccessful in their attempts to overturn election results in swing states won by Democratic candidate Joe Biden in the 2020 election.[7][8][9][10] The efforts garnered press attention and public outrage from Democrats, and by 2023 Republicans had adopted a more "under the radar" approach to achieve their goals.[11]

Really?

Florida Bans Voting Rights of Over 960,000 Citizens
The overwhelming majority of this group, nearly 730,000 Florida citizens, have completed their sentence

20% of Black men in Florida can't vote because they had been convicted of felonies. And when the people of Florida passed an amendment to restore their voting rights, the GOP changed the law to require that they must first pay thousands or tens of thousands of dollars to get that right back, even after doing their time in prison.

Pretty strange behavior for a "no one is trying to make sure someone doesn't vote" country.

We dont worry about Jim Crow laws anymore.
Yes, because they are now illegal, until the GOP SCOTUS says they are not

Racism is dead

That's some funny stuff! You're either completely disconnected from reality or a troll. Probably a bit from each column.

And it doesn't have to be racism. It can just be about making sure that people who will vote against them, regardless of their skin color, have a harder time getting IDs. Take a look at the map below and try to figure out which offices you'd close to make sure certain people can't vote.
