re: It certainly wasn't to keep blacks from voting.
Techie, of course in Arizona it was about Mexicans but there's absolutely no evidence that any of the illegals participated in voting fraud. Last thing someone worried about discovery and deportation wants to do is register to vote.
Someday look at the list of supporters for that stupid voting ID proposition that was sold to the idiot electorate. You won't find a Democrat name on it. It was clearly a partisan idea to make the state even more red than it already is.
That same trend is going on in many states.
