Voter Suppression Laws Likely Tipped the Scales for Trump,

WASHINGTON
Civil rights groups say a tangle of Republican-backed voter suppression
laws enacted since 2010 probably helped tip the scale for Republican
nominee Donald Trump in some closely contested states on election night.
.
When we look back, we will find that voter suppression figured prominently
in the story surrounding the 2016 presidential election, said Kristen
Clarke, the president and executive director of the Lawyers Committee for
Civil Rights Under Law
.
Fourteen states had restrictive new voting laws on the books for the first
time in a presidential election this year, according to the Brennan Center
for Justice at NYU School of Law: Alabama, Arizona, Indiana, Kansas,
Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin.
.
The laws included a mix of photo ID requirements for voters, cuts to early
voting opportunities and curbs on voter registration activity.
.
The laws, which were presumably enacted as a safeguard against voter
fraud, began to spread nationally after the 2010 midterm elections, when
large numbers of Republicans were swept into state offices.
.
Since then, 10 states have imposed stricter voter ID laws, seven made
registration more difficult, six have cut early voting opportunities and
three have made it harder to restore voting rights to people with criminal
convictions, according to the Brennan Center.
.
The center charges that race and partisanship are behind many of the laws,
which have been found to disproportionately affect voters who
traditionally vote Democratic: minorities, the poor, college students and
other young voters..
.
In addition to systemic barriers, voters faced individual obstacles on
Election Day, Clarke said during a news briefing on Thursday. The problems
included long lines at polls, voters names not appearing on registration
lists, a lack of polling place assistance for foreign-language speakers
and poll workers who requested strict photo ID in states where no such ID
was required.
.
Groups that monitored Tuesdays election have documented beyond any doubt
that voter suppression and a conscious effort to shave off 1 or 2 percent
of the vote in key states, in all likelihood, influenced the outcome of
this election, said Wade Henderson, the president of the Leadership
Conference on Civil and Human Rights.
.
In addition, activists complained of large-scale registration purges of
inactive voters and reductions in the number of places where people could
cast ballots.
.
A report by the leadership conference found that voting locations were
reduced in about 43 percent or 165 of 381 counties that were previously
covered by Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. The result: There were 868
fewer sites in which to cast a ballot in those jurisdictions with
histories of discriminatory voting practices.
