To the extent that Republican-controlled states have been passing laws that suppress the vote, the Republican Party can not deny the charge of racism.
Every time, whether it is in Pennsylvania, North Dakota, Georgia or Texas, that there is action taken to restrict or suppress people from voting, it is always a minority group victimized.
In North Dakota, it is Native Americans. In Georgia, 80 percent of the voter registration applications being held are black or Hispanic voters. In Texas, it is voters at an all-black university who are targeted.
Republicans have stopped even saying that they are simply trying to protect the polls from fraud. The voter suppression is clearlytoo evident.
And to the extent that they are doing this, it is clear that they are racists. They can no longer simply point to political correctness or reverse discrimination. Try to keep the minority from voting, and you are a racist.
