Why are the Republicans trying to keep black and Latino voters from voting?

Why is your state going Blue?

So states could theoretically require passports for proof of citizenship when registering voters?
That is my take.

I thought Republicans were against big government overreach? Perhaps big government is ok when trying to block people of color from voting.

It's racist to ask for ID?

It's racist to have laws/rules that deliberately put a group of people at a distinct disadvantage to exercise their voting rights.
