Which Republican voters are being kept from voting?
Registered Republicans are the most likely to be caught trying to vote 2 or more times.
False equivalency.

Yes, all of those Republicans being kept from voting. Like all those poor Republican people of color who are big Trump supporters.
The more people vote, the bigger the Democrat's share of the vote.
