There are so many bad things happening in this country right now and these clowns focus their time on a non-issue.
Generally-speaking, adding more barriers to voting has favored Republican voters somewhat
you see more Democrat votes go away than you do Republican
so it's been a long-running Republican issue. You can't say "I'm trying to tilt the outcome of elections by adding barriers to voting", so you have to say that you're trying to prevent vote fraud.
You can think of it as something like gerrymandering
an attempt to manipulate voting rules, within legal bounds, such that they favor one's own party.
That used to be the norm. Low income voters vote for democrats and the elites vote for republicans. However, that has been changing lately. Trump is getting a lot of blue-collar voters. Those are usually suppressed by these laws. There’s a chance that these laws may hurt republicans more than democrats.
