So how are voter ID laws racist?  Actual data , much less common sense, says they aren't.

It has to do with proportionate impact.

The poverty rate among African Americans (20.8%) is over twice as high as among whites (10.1%).  So any issue that affects people in poverty will have twice as big of an impact on the African American population as for white people.
