Ah, the old fall back line for Boomers and....sigh...early Gen Xers.
It's probably also just a coincidence that Sunday early voting is being limited to a single Sunday when historically Black churches get out the vote with their Souls to the Polls campaign on those days.
When you look at the history of this country with regard to minorities and voting, and then you look at what Republicans are doing, I don't know how you can even downplay the racial component.
It's not like it's a case of "oh gee...we were just trying to suppress the Democratic vote. You mean this legislation is also going to disproportionately affect POCs too?" They damn well know exactly who they're impacting and they don't care. They're perfectly fine with furthering the racial inequality that continues to exist.
And I guess the history of doing things like closing polling places and getting rid of drop boxes in areas that are predominantly Black or Brown is probably just an attempt to limit Democratic votes, too. Not racist at all.
If you're going to argue that Republicans don't want Black people to vote because they vote for Democrats, then you need to also ask why they vote Democrat. And why Republicans aren't interested in winning their vote as opposed to suppressing it.

Drop boxes should be removed because no excuse mail in voting should not be allowed. I want drop boxes removed in white areas just as much as in black or brown areas.

You need to research LBJ and the great society he implemented to realize why blacks vote so disproportionately democrat. “I’ll have these n****** voting Democrat for the next 200 years.” Yeah, a democrat president said that. He is the culprit for the constant victim mentality and the need for a “suppressed” underclass. Yet, here we are 50-something years later and democrats still haven’t done a damn thing for blacks except keep the victim mentality alive against those evil, racist republicans.
We actually just recently had a president who DID assist minorities by giving them the lowest unemployment rates in history. His economic policies lifted all races instead of pitting people against each other through identity politics.
How ironic that a lack of voter ID laws is what got rid of him and here we are, back at square one. It’s a vicious cycle and your ilk are the ones who truly want to keep blacks suppressed so we can blame whitey and Republicans.

Name one inequality AGAINST POC codified into law in this country. Because if you are talking inequality IN FAVOR OF POC codified into law, this would be the biggest TL;DR post in the history of Tigerdroppings.
Stop with the fabricated bullshite that there is a scintilla of institutional/governmental/legal racism or discrimination against minorities in this country. None exists.

Republicans will never win the black vote because it would effectively end the black power structure that gets filthy rich off the poverty and violence plaguing the black community. The black clergy, along with the professional agitators at the NAACP and similar organizations, want as many black people to stay impoverished and uneducated as possible. Ending poverty and bettering education eliminates the need of the clergy and a small number of professionals to tell black people how to think and for whom to vote, which are profitable industries for a small few. Go to any black church in the South and you'll see the preacher driving a Bentley while 75% of the congregation is on Medicaid. And they can always blame the white devil to hide the fact that they're getting rich off the destruction of their own people.

They aren’t suppressing black people from voting. Only ignorant sheep or elitists using blacks for political gain say they are.
