To suppress voting by passing laws that make it more difficult or inconvenient to vote which adversely effects disadvantaged and older voters more than others is a crime against Democracy.
Such laws do not eliminate voter fraud—they eliminate voters.
The Republican lawmakers are betting on the side of past history—voter suppression will curtail more democratic votes than Republican. It flies in the face of Democratic fairness.

You are clueless and did not read or have a comprehension issue.

IMO if you don't give enough of a crap to ask for a mail in ballot when you need one you don't deserve to have a vote.
Of course the party that most don't give a crap low information voters vote for thinks differently.
I give enough of a crap to walk to a polling station to vote and did so yesterday.
In 2004 (Yep, 2004!!) someone wrote this list of items. Are things much different today?
Things you have to believe to be a Republican today [in 2004]:
1. Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary
Clinton.
2. Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush's
daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him and
a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion.
3. Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is Communist, but trade
with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.
4. A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but
multinational corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind
without regulation.
5. The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in
speeches while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.
6. If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.
7. A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies,
then demand their cooperation and money.
8. Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing
health care to all Americans is socialism.
9. HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public
at heart.
10. Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but
Creationism should be taught in schools.
11. A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable
offense.
12. A president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands
die is solid defense policy.
13. Government should limit itself to the powers named in the
Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the
Internet.
14. The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but
George Bush's driving record is none of our business.
15. Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a
conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our prayers
for your recovery.
16. You support states' rights, which means Attorney General John
Ashcroft can tell states what local voter initiatives they have the
right to adopt.
17. What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest
(smoke pot), but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant (snort coke
and become an alcoholic).
I find it telling that the DNC, in conjunction with California Democrat bodies, made sure to verify EVERY signature on the CA recall petition, suggesting 25 percent of them fraudulent, but the same DNC is suggesting it’s illegal and immoral to do the same verification for Presidential ballots in Arizona. And let’s be clear. I’m not finding new information in the hypocrisy of the DNC, but in that the national media won’t report it and in that average Democrat voters are either too ill informed to notice it or so dishonest as to ignore it.

You are obviously more prone to listening to the media and talking head lies on this more that taking the time to inform yourself with the facts. It's impossible to figure out why you think these laws intended to improve ballot integrity and other provide other options will have a negative effect only on dimocrats, blacks, and hispanics. If there are any negative effects don't you understand that all voters, regardless of party affiliation, will be affected?

On voting day "Rain means Republican". I think I first heard that in grade school.

I don't pretend to know what it's like to live on an island. Why do you pretend to know what it's like to not live on one?
