Its become an accepted truth of modern politics that Republican electoral
prospects go up as the number of voters goes down. Conservatives have
known this for a long time, which helps explain their intensifying efforts
to make it harder to vote, or to eliminate large numbers of people from
political representation entirely.
.
On Monday, the Supreme Court unanimously rejected one of the more extreme
attempts a lawsuit from Texas that aimed to reverse longstanding practice
and require that only eligible voters be counted in the drawing of state
legislative districts.

This suit was an easy one for the justices to toss out, but Republican
lawmakers around the country have already enjoyed plenty of success
erecting obstacles between the ballot box and the most vulnerable voters,
especially minorities, students and the poor, populations that tend to
vote Democratic.
.
A good example comes from Wisconsin, which is holding its presidential
primaries on Tuesday. In 2011, a Republican-controlled statehouse passed,
and Gov. Scott Walker signed, the states voter-identification bill, which
requires that prospective voters present a government-issued photo ID,
like a drivers license or passport.
.
In 2014, Lynn Adelman, a federal district judge in Wisconsin, struck down
the law after finding no evidence of voter fraud. He found that the law
would most likely disenfranchise poor and minority voters, who
disproportionately lack the required ID, and will prevent more legitimate
votes from being cast than fraudulent votes. But a federal appeals court
inexplicably reversed that decision and the Supreme Court declined to hear
the case last year, allowing the law to go into effect.
.
The problem, as Judge Adelman and others have documented again and again
and again, is that voter-ID laws are a destructive solution to a
nonexistent problem. If there were any doubts about the bad faith of these
laws, consider this: The Wisconsin law requires the state to educate
voters about acceptable forms of ID and how to secure them a particularly
important public service for the roughly 300,000 state residents estimated
not to have the proper ID. But despite requests from the states
nonpartisan Government Accountability Board for $300,000 to $500,000 for
that effort, the Legislature provided no funding. Instead, Governor Walker
signed a bill in December to dismantle the board..
