… that Blacks and Hispanics, 158 years after slavery ended, do not have access to a photo ID?

… that Blacks and Hispanics, 158 years after slavery ended, cannot figure out how to vote honestly and need vote harvesters?

As the country’s Hispanic population grows larger, many wonder how Republicans can bring this demographic into their fold.
