If you feel that people on welfare and unemployed are lazy and shouldn't vote, vote Republican...

[Chark]

There have always been attempts to curb votes on the population, but the republicans of late have been very active in attempting to reduce voter turnout through creating policy making it more difficult to register to vote. The lower socio-economic class is far more likely to vote democrat and policy can be written to discourage this group. Be it through something that makes is cost more to register, reduce active attempts to register more people, make the process take longer, etc.
