"Just a helpful hint for conservatives who are feeling persecuted and sad"

[phantom power]

Just a helpful hint for conservatives who are feeling persecuted and sad and have hurt feelings – when a state initiates early voting, holds a couple of elections and discovers that 70% of African Americans vote early and then launches a frantic effort to change the law and restrict early voting, we then suspect that conservatives are targeting African American voters. That’s rational. We’re allowed to use common sense when looking at new laws. We’re allowed to consider not just what conservatives say or what may or may not be “in their hearts” but what actually happens.
