Explain the minorities that were elected in South Carolina with their voter id laws
To do so would be to chase a red herring. Only an idiot would hallucinate that voter suppression is about eliminating all minority (or liberal) victories. The objective is to affect a marginal change. If it can change the results in one district out of ten... then it has been crushingly effective.
This is why Trey Gowdy's argument is so stupid. South Carolina has IIRC 9 Congressmen. Gowdy crows that three of them are African American. If voter suppression limited them to three from the four they might have had without it, that's a 25% loss for blacks/liberals/democrats.
That's how you measure the effect of voter suppression. Not Gowdy's context free, meaningless metric.

Only a damnable idiot would need two paragraphs to dodge the question.

Minorities are less likely to have the means to get to a photo ID center. The closest one to my home is 13 miles away and it is not on a bus line.My state House leader made it perfectly clear what the proposed voter ID law was about.

Oh bullchit. The law is for everyone. Are you going to tell me that those poor, poor disenfranchised minorities have no damn state ID's of any kind? Let's stop this silliness already. They have some form of ID. Please.
This is true no matter whether you are voting absentee or in person.
But you don't register to vote by state. You register by precinct.
What voter fraud?
