Anti-voting laws are designed to take away Americans’ right to vote. But they’re not aimed equally at all Americans — they have the greatest impact on seniors, students, the poor, and minorities. So it should come as no surprise that a new analysis shows that South Carolina’s voter ID law would disproportionate impact black voters:

South Carolina’s new voter photo identification law appears to be hitting black precincts in the state the hardest, according to an analysis by The Associated Press.

For instance, nearly half the voters who cast ballots at a historically black college in Columbia lack state-issued photo identification and could face problems voting in next year’s presidential election, according to the analysis of precinct-level data provided by the state Election Commission.

Once again, this is not an accident. Black voters are not an unintentional side effect of the law. They are the targets. South Carolina’s anti-voting law is intended to stop them from voting, and it looks like it may very well succeed.
