Republicans ask the Supreme Court to disenfranchise thousands of swing state voters — Vox

In fact, every court that has heard challenges to the vote has rejected efforts to overturn its result. Yet important Evangelical leaders have still supported calls for state legislators to unilaterally defy their own voters to appoint pro-Trump electors.

Sometimes these efforts are so blatant that they are struck down: North Carolina enacted one of these targeted voter-ID laws, but in July 2016 the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit struck it down, ruling that its various provisions “target African Americans with almost surgical precision.”

And when the Supreme Court ruled Friday night, the head of the Texas GOP called for a separatist “union of states that will abide by the Constitution.”

Racist voting policy has evolved from disenfranchising by Jim Crow voting laws to disenfranchising by mass incarceration and voter-ID laws.
