But I doubt they will. The Texas state AG is already on record saying the voting laws are meant to keep the "wrong" people from voting. When called out for being a racist, he backtracked and said he didn't mean African Americans, just Democrats -- they were the "wrong" people.

I'm sure VA GOP is just as corrupt and a collection of good old boys as they are in Texas.
