Whites will be less than 74% of the electorate. Their percentage is declining in every election and I don't see why this trend will be reversed now.
Voter ID laws.

You would probably ignore this racial crap if you had fabrications thrown at you constantly.

You mean fabrications like Republicans support Voter ID laws because they'll stop rampant voter fraud rather than because they'll impact Democratic-leaning voting groups most?

Chillax. Here's Nate Silver explaining why chillaxing is good. Voter ID law doesn't make a huge impact.

The more likely political calculus is that considering 70-75% of Americans support Voter ID laws, the Republicans know that pushing it is a political winner, largely because Democrats do not chillax and find themselves acting very angrily on the more unpopular side of the issue.
It's popular because their isn't any downside and their is an upside.  
Less fraud and more confidence in the process vs. Huh??

We had voter ID for 1 election before it got tied up in a court injunction and the democrats were combing the state for someone who had been "disenfranchised" because they didn't have an ID.  They couldn't find a single person.  One guy had an ID, but refused to vote 'in protest' LOL.

 I heard one state had a provision in the law for the theoretical people in the state that would have an actual problem voting, that the polling place could take a picture of them and allow them to vote.  Not sure how you could object to such a common sense measure.

 Voter ID law is about rigging elections for Republicans.

Remember, anecdotal evidence is superior to statistical research, especially if it's done by a left-leaning thinker.
I thought Republicans liked anecdotal evidence?
