Give us the Vote, Republicans.

"Republicans and Voter Suppression." The New York Times, 04 Apr. 2016. Web. 05 Apr. 2016.   

      Republican Voters from particular district in  Texas became a wide-issue of voter suppression. Other than people from higher income or middle class, the voters especially Latinos from the less concentrated vote district shows the low vote rates. It is said that the Ttexas government has changes for Latinos to vote equally has been overlooked at by Republican lawmakers. It is upsetting situation where minorities, students and the poor population has no power who are mostly made up of democratic.

      

      There is a lot of problems with the process or progress to make better life for the people of minorities. A good example from Wisconsin, the Republican-controlled party attempted to pass the law of state's voter-identification bill, when the minorities do not carry the ID, it is no effective for them to have vote power. When the problem was pointed by some, but both supreme court declined that appeal and no funding was given to make that change for nonpartisan Government Accountability Board and it was already dismantled by a governor Walker who is Wisconsin Republican governor. The author was claiming suppressing the voter is against American basic right which is freedom of right to vote.
