Would I be imagining things, but are these mostly the same states that had Jim Crow Voting laws? and they are still trying to prevent brown people from voting?

That’s where they started, yes, and that’s still these laws primary mission. As it’s moved north, it’s taken on the additional role of poll tax to keep the poor of any race from voting because that’s the bigger fear up here.
