Republicans Start a New Super PAC Intended to Make It Harder For You to Vote

"Republicans killed the commission simply and effectively by refusing to appoint or approve any commissioners at all. Now they have a conservative super PAC to support Republican secretaries of state that will pursue restrictive voter laws, purge voter rolls, and generally kill the democratic process. Several southern states already implemented voter suppression laws after the conservative Supreme Court ruled racism is non-existent and gave Republican legislatures the green light to restrict minority voting to guarantee that, as Lindsey Graham said, only “angry white guys” are allowed to vote.
Despite President Obama’s commission’s recommendations to ensure every American is allowed to cast a vote, Republicans will ramp up their voter suppression efforts because a recent study shows that Republican states with higher minority turnouts will attempt to pass voter suppression laws; especially now that demographics have turned against Republicans and they know there are not enough angry white racists to keep them in office."
