It also cuts the time people have to request an absentee ballot and limits where ballot drop boxes can be placed and when they can be accessed.
Democrats and voting rights groups say the law will disproportionately disenfranchise voters of color.
Why do democrats and voting rights groups act like voters of color are idiots who cannot comply with the simple rules above? There is nothing particularly disenfranchising in this regarding voters of color.
What problem does this law solve and why is it necessary? The goal should be to make voting easier not harder. Voter registration should be universal and automatic and absentee ballots should be sent to everyone automatically. Other countries get this and know that getting everyone’s vote is important. Of course if voting is harder, fewer people will end up voting and that’s what the GOP wants.
