[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The GOP only wants to ban mail-in voting in places where GOP voters are not in high numbers.[/quote]

This is exactly it.  The GOP doesn't care if Republicans vote by mail in higher numbers because shutting down vote by mail is only half the plan.

The second half is implementing voter ID laws then shutting down polling places and DMVs in urban Democratic majority areas, so that Democratic voters don't turn out when there is an 8 hour long line to vote and get turned away because they don't have an ID - which they couldn't get because the nearest DMV to them takes half a day to get there via bus and also has huge lines.

Meanwhile rural and suburban GOP voters breeze in and out of their polling place because none of theirs were shut down, and they already have an ID because everyone needs to drive out there.

[quote] Counties across the country continue to eliminate polling places. Just last month, Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson, a Republican, removed 170, mostly Democratic voting precincts from Lake County — home to the state’s largest Latino and second-largest black communities. https://www.governing.com/topics/politics/sl-polling-place-close-ahead-of-november-elections-black-voters.html [/quote]

[quote]In majority-minority urban counties, voters lost an average of seven polling places and more than 200 of the workers who help them cast ballots between 2012 and 2016.

And, the dearth of places to vote was far worse in some big cities. Election administrators in Chicago’s Cook County closed or moved 95 polling places; Los Angeles County closed 88 sites, and Houston’s Harris County eliminated 27. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2018/10/30/midterm-elections-closed-voting-sites-impact-minority-voter-turnout/1774221002/ [/quote]

[quote]How about Georgia, where Democrat Stacey Abrams is trying to ride an emerging Democratic majority to victory against Kemp and hasten the end of two decades of white Republican dominance? Surprise, surprise: More than 200 polls have closed since the Roberts Court gave the state a green light to discriminate. And as The Atlanta Journal-Constitution revealed this summer (Kemp’s secretary of state office conveniently keeps no track of the closures), they correlate in near-perfect synchronicity with concentrations of high poverty rates across the state—the places where fewer people have cars to drive to the polls, where public transportation is often non-existent, and where African Americans vote Democratic. https://newrepublic.com/article/151966/gops-sneakiest-voter-suppression-tactic[/quote]
