So doesn't this effect all voters regardless of political party, or were Republicans exempt from this? So your implying the those other than Republicans voted early, couldn't vote on time and can not show identification?

I'm a non-partisan voter and I still do not see the logic in your "quoted statement".

In places like Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio and other states, these moves - which included restricting which forms of identification were acceptable - were designed by Republicans to disproportionately affect minority voters - the majority of whom vote Democratic.

Requiring voters to present ID, racist, requiring gun buyers to present ID, not so..

Whats the difference since both are protected by the Constitution

Identification to vote isnt voter suppression, unless you believe blacks are too stupid to obtain ID.

Yes, it should. But as the true racists, liberals will never admit it.

Or too lazy to wait in line, or too dumb to vote ahead of time, or whatever it is they've decided is "suppression". Do liberals have any idea how insulting that is?

Yup, hanging chads are called proof of voter suppression. Seriously?

Was it ever proven in court ?

From that last link..the guy just might be dissing his party as an act of revenge.
This "upstanding" man is currently serving jail time for theft and money laundering of GOP funds.
I wouldn't put much credibility into what he "says" without any proof.

"Florida’s former Republican Party chairman Jim Greer, who, scorned by his party and in deep legal trouble..."
