Voter ID bill about minority voter suppression, not fraud

Members of the Missouri Legislative Black Caucus and House Democratic leadership held a news conference to discuss voter suppression legislation and other Republican-backed measures that would disproportionately harm minority communities. House Minority Leader Rep. Crystal Quade opened up the press conference. She said one of the more disturbing trends among Republicans this session has been their "eagerness to enact legislation that will disproportionately harm black Missourians and other minorities."

"No one, not even Republicans, if they're being honest, really believe that the push for a strict voter ID law and other voting restrictions are intended to combat voter fraud. The reality is such measures are intended to combat voting by minority groups that don't support Republicans, what makes the attack on voting rights even more remarkable is Republicans have proven over the last several election cycles that they don't need to cheat to win in Missouri."
