On an interview for the daily show GOP Precinct captain, Don Yelton, admits that the voter suppression laws target democrat voters saying "This law is gonna kick the democrats in the butt"
He also goes on to call black people lazy and says only 1 or 2 people commit voter fraud per election in North Carolina. Don Yelton later resigned from his position at the request of North Carolina Republican Party Chairman Claude Pope due to what was said during the interview.

So my only question is...if these laws are specifically targetting democratic voters (which they obviously are) why do republicans not just openly admit it? The facts are beyond obvious, They do the best when turnout is low:
2008 House election:
65,237,840 Democrat votes
52,249,491 Republican votes
2010 House election:
38,980,192 Democrat Votes
44,827,441 Republican Votes
2012 House election:
59,967,096 Democrat Votes
58,523,501 Republican Votes
So Republicans can only sell their image to a select few in the US, so they do best when turnout is low...so the game plan is simple! (No, not expand your base...) You keep people out of the voter booths to win!!!
Just be up front and honest about what you're trying here, no need to be all shady.
