      These GOP disenfranchisement measures are a sign panic. They COULD could keep winning FL, NC, GA, TX forever by mildly increasing non-white vote share every cycle, but fighting the dilution of white power is the current base's priority. So you get this.https://twitter.com/PoliticsWolf/status/1144737696461406208 …

      BREAKING: Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a poll tax on people who've finished their felony sentences. It could ban from voting up to 1.1 million of the up to 1.4 million who should've regained their rights, & it also bans early voting at colleges https://www.dailykos.com/story/2019/6/28/1855828/-Embracing-Jim-Crow-era-rules-Florida-GOP-enacts-poll-tax-that-could-ban-up-to-1-million-from-voting …

      I'm not sure they could win those places forever if they increased non-white vote. To get those votes they'd have to make race less salient, which would cost part of their base. I think they know what they are doing.

          Maybe, just maybe most of them believe as the base does.

          Many blue districts in FL will be inundated in few cycles by sea level rise anyway.

          I'm in Florida and the state Dem Party is a zoo. The poll tax hurdle will take 10yrs to overcome. Barring some miracle of organizing, that is. BTW, you can pay those fines and fees here : https://wegotthevote.org/finesandfees/

          Agree. A “sign of panic” sounds bad for them. But you might also say this is smart prophylactic policy and panic or not, they can get away with this stuff for a long to come where they control the state government and courts.

          In CA at least, the hispanic population is primarily religious, entreprenuerial, suspicious of govt, youd think theyd be a perfect fit for the GOP, but they stuck with the old white dudes.
