Wanting to ensure fewer people vote is a primary way that Republicans can continue to get elected as their base, a large component of whom are elderly caucasian, continues to shrink with every passing election cycle. Thus, the continued pressure to make it increasingly more difficult to vote with a primary emphasis in battle ground states where small amounts of the electorate prevented from casting their ballots can shape the entire election and determine who sits in the Oval Office. The attempts at voter suppression have become more transparent and blatantly obvious reminiscent of tactics widely used in the Jim Crow era. With no push back from the current Administration the suppression tactics employed are now only stopped by the judiciary.
