Transparent Voter Suppression by GOP

Alabama

Some DMV hours limited to open one day per month. Some, the only DMVs in the county, also close as early as 2:30pm. https://web.archive.org/web/20181102034221/http://dps.alabama.gov/Home/DriverLicensePages/wfDLOffices.aspx https://www.safemotorist.com/Alabama/DMV_Locations.aspx https://www.transportation.gov/briefing-room/us-department-transportation-investigate-possible-discrimination-through-alabama
Judge states two witnesses in 2011 showed “a deep-seated racial animus” seeking to suppress black turnout. Judge argues that they kept pro-gambling referendum off the ballot as it would bring out more black voters https://www.tuscaloosanews.com/news/20111021/judge-bingo-witnesses-aimed-to-suppress-black--voter-turnout
2016 USDOT investigation concluded that disproportionate closing of Alabama DMVs in the Black Belt caused a "disparate and adverse impact on the basis of race." https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdal/pus-department-transportation-takes-action-ensure-equitable-driver-license-office-access

Despite 2017 "Moral Turpitude" change to which felonies disqualify you from voting, officials will not educate or inform voters who are no longer disqualified. According to Secretary of State John H. Merrill, “I don’t see any reason to contact them directly if we’re already reaching the entire population.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/more-ex-prisoners-can-vote-in-alabamathey-just-dont-know-it http://ballot-access.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/gov.uscourts.almd_.61662.72.0-1.pdf As a result, even official registrars said they were uninformed how to manage the reinstated rights. https://www.al.com/news/2017/10/alabama_election_officials_rem.html

Arizona

SC allows ban of collected ballots for early voting. Ruling is without explanation but the suspicion is because Appeals Court ruled a week before 2016 election https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/11/05/us-supreme-court-oks-arizona-ballot-collection-ban/93344652/
GOP reached agreement after suit calling for deadline for signature verification, which would eliminate all votes where the signature couldn't be confirmed on election day. Even though it was legal for voters to verify their signature up to 5 days later (treated as a provisional ballot), the GOP solution to different deadlines in different counties was to end the service altogether. https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2018-11-08/arizona-gop-sues-to-change-how-mail-in-ballots-are-counted-in-sinema-mcsally-race

Trump calls for state to end absentee ballot count 4 days before deadline, which would negate about 20,000 ballots mostly by overseas military members in a race the Republican leads by less than 13,000 https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/as-nation-observes-veterans-day-trump-calls-for-blocking-military-votes/
Although in November 2018 the voters backed a state amendment restoring voting rights to over one million felons who completed their sentence, State Governor Ron DeSantis and State Secretary Ken Detzner said it would not be active in time for the February elections. This contradicts the directive from the Florida Department of State. https://theintercept.com/2019/01/08/florida-felon-voting-rights-amendment-4-2/

Florida Governor DeSantis signs poll tax in 2019, requiring felons who completed their sentence to pay fines in order to reclaim right to vote.

Georgia

Between 2012 and 2016, Georgia purged 1.5 Million voters from the voter rolls. 735,000 were purged from 2016 to 2018, with a whole 500,000 removed in one day. A federal court found that the 83% increase (12,000 to 22,000) in provisional ballots from 2014 to 2018 was likely due to administration errors. https://www.ajc.com/news/local-govt--politics/georgia-cancels-fewer-voter-registrations-after-surge-last-yeafqT1bcSzGu33UEpTMDzMVK/ https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2018/11/brian-kemps-win-in-georgia-tainted-by-voter-suppression-stacey-abrams/

After Kemp settled case in 2017 by removing 40-day deadline to correct "exact match" information, Georgia passed a new law reinstating a deadline. It also blocked tribal identification cards as ID when registering https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/10/11/17964104/georgia-voter-registration-suppression-purges-stacey-abrams-brian-kemp https://politics.myajc.com/news/state--regional-govt--politics/georgia-elections-bill-passes-senate-after-debate/irbaMooFPhQPfuR1AvDTKP/

On May 26, 2011, LaBrant wrote “We needed for legal and PR purposes a good looking map that did not look like an obvious gerrymander.” Each year the GOP took 9 of 14 House seats despite getting only 46% (2012), 47% (2014), and 48% (2016) of the votes. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/25/us/michigan-gerrymandering.html https://www.bridgemi.com/public-sectoemails-suggest-republicans-gerrymandered-michigan-weaken-dem-garbage
