Well sure, the 2000 election was stolen for GWB by Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris when they disenfranchised thousands of eligible voters, mostly black, by 'mistakenly' listing them as ex-felons.

How do you know the vast majority of people being disenfranchised tend to swing Democrat? Most seniors I know tend to vote Republican. Aren't seniors being disenfranchised at a higher rate than the general populace?
Because those people who are BOTH seniors AND who tend to not have ID are those that are poorer and/or members of visible minorities, which tend to vote Dem.

I'm not in favor of laws that make it harder to get ID's. If Republican legislators are making it harder to get ID's I would explain it by saying it is typical governmental BS engaged in by both parties to expand their power.
Yes so if you also favor IDs to vote, then surely someone like yourself would do the process in reverse, wouldn't you say? First make it really, really easy to get an ID and THEN pass laws requiring them for voting. Why is the GOP doing it the opposite way if not to suppress opposition votes?
And yet how many actual cases of voter fraud have been prosecuted? Out of all the elections held every year and all the millions of people who vote, and not to mention the extreme vitriol between the parties, there is only a small handful of actual cases. Why is that? If it was as rampant as all these Reps suggest then there should be thousands of cases. But there isn't.
The bottom line is that it's a concerted effort to suppress the vote in order to steal elections. There's simply no other way to look at it.
