Are the parameters themselves racist, such as giving more leeway to one group due to their race (like college admissions favoring blacks) or race neutral and just happen to disproportionately impact one race (like whites and asians paying a higher proportion of taxes per capita?)

It seems to me you can have both better election integrity measures and measures to promote easier voting. I'm in favor of an id requirement for voting. Give everyone an id and adopt measures to make early voting easier. I'm somewhat agnostic about mail in voting. I cant help but feel there is more potential for fraud. But there are quite a few states that have many years of experience with it by now who seem to have made it work, and they are among the states that have the highest voter participation.
How do you know it worked if it was never audited?
Just assuming?
There are always people like Lin Wood and Herschel's wife who will violate the laws. I don't think there is a foolproof system that will catch all people like them. But I think the systems various states have for mail in voting work pretty well in terms of preventing fraud on a scale that would make a difference, except in the tiny percentage of elections where the outcome is razor thin. Btw most states have post-election audits. They are done with the idea of looking for ways to make future elections more secure. Not to sow doubt on an election that a particular candidate lost fair and square.

Not sure where to put this, but Texas Dems are suing the governor with a lawyer on probation, and suing for things such as "embarrassment".

You do understand that both sides do this right?
I look forward to your impending posts about Democrats redistricting republicans out of house seats.
