One thing I think I've noted before: The majority of people affected by this Florida law are white.

Certainly, compared to the population of Florida, the population ovf this group is overrepresented in racial minorities. But the overall population of this group is majority white.

Now, the law is awful and should be overturned because it is the right thing to do.

But people thinking that getting rid of this law would be a boon for Democrats may be wrong.

Responses:

Yes, you have. Me, I'm offended by denying Americans the right to vote. I don't care who gets the boon. -- nm - David Sep 11, 13:00 4
- 100%, as I said in the IM. I've seen too many people (not here necessarily) think it would help the Dems. - ty97 Sep 11, 13:12 1
  - Right, because the newly enfranchised voters are going to vote for the party that tried to keep them from voting... - znufrii finally got a haircut Sep 11, 13:18
