Doug Preisse, chairman of the Republican Party in Franklin County, which contains the city of Columbus, admitted in an email to the Columbus Dispatch that black voters would now have a more difficult time voting:
I guess I really actually feel we shouldnt contort the voting process to accommodate the urban read African-American voter-turnout machine. Lets be fair and reasonable.
Secretary of State Husted most recently suspended two Democratic members of the Montgomery County Election Board for voting to allow weekend voting in spite of the directive to restrict hours.

This isn't about "photo ID". This is clearly about restricting voter rights.
Speaking of Voter ID:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The comment has Democrats on edge, as they say it further proves their argument that the law was politically motivated and created to help Republicans.
"Voter ID, which is gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania, done," he said, drawing applause.

Finally, some Republicans are being truthful and telling America they are trying to "undermine democracy".
Now the "can of worms".
Polls put Romney's support from the black community at ZERO. Yes, "0%". I have voted in every election since Nixon and Republicans have received a portion of the black vote in every election. But this time is different and not just because the president is black.
Going after the rights of African Americans and attempting to take away their right to vote is "aggression". This is a declaration of war. Do Republicans think today's black Americans will take this type of attack? Remember, it's only war if they "fight back". And they will "fight back". Believe it. This is a can of worms Republicans will wish they never opened. You heard it here first.
