burning to vote might be determined since they are being told they can't.

Republicans will also block some of their own. I know they carefully ran the numbers to make sure they would get the long end of the stick but it won't be 100% Democrats being blocked.

Now it looks like we are getting some help from the courts. If enough of these laws get tossed, we still have fired up voters that thought they were going to be screwed. In some states it may turn out to have backfired. Their failed attempt at suppression only increases turnout. Wouldn't that be cool!
