A study released Monday found that millions voters could be kept from the polls in 2012.

The Brennan Center for Justice report, titled “Voting Law Changes in 2012” (PDF), determined that they new restrictions on who can vote, largely championed by Republican lawmakers, could suppress the the votes of more than five million young, minority, low-income, and disabled voters, all groups that tend to vote for Democrats.

“This wave of changes may sharply tilt the political terrain for the 2012 election,” study authors Wendy R. Weiser and Lawrence Norden wrote in their executive summary (PDF).

1. They are helping out Democrats though

By trying to turn EVERYONE into a low-income voter.

2. They're also helping by dividing various segments of the Democratic Party

with the help of a complicit, lazy Corporate Media and some Democrats themselves.

3. And no ACORN left to make sure the poor and marginalized have the right ID.
