You may not like to believe it, but it wasn't just about asking people for basic ID. The law would have imposed strict ID requirements, shortened early voting periods, and eliminated same-day voter registration, among other barriers to voting. The circuit judge who overturned their law said it targeted black voters "with almost surgical precision."

And then, when that law got overturned, they went and reduced the number of voting stations available and/or the hours they were opened. And only in those counties in which large numbers of blacks lived.
