I don't really know.. cause I don't follow US politics not that closely (reason I made the thread) but on the news people are really scared because of this... that stuff like this would happen:
2012 election blocks
Last year, the US justice department blocked changes to voter identification laws in the states of South Carolina and Texas.And a federal court ruled that a plan to change the boundaries of congressional districts in Texas discriminated against the state's large and growing Hispanic population. Activists in favour of preserving the law say that since the Voting Rights Act was renewed seven years ago, as many as 31 proposed changes to election laws have been blocked by Washington.
Last week, the US Supreme Court struck down a state law in Arizona that would have required registered voters to provide proof of citizenship at the polls.|
Democrats say stricter voting laws, mainly championed by Republican legislatures, are designed to make it harder for minorities - who tend to vote Democratic - to cast their ballots.
