Seems that way. The problem isn't their stated intention of cutting down on voter fraud: it's the way they're going about it that raises the question in my mind. It's the history I've had with the republican party that lends credence to to this writer's creative narrative.
This situation is much like what's been going on in Wisconsin: I understand cracking down on out-of-control union contracts that are helping to bankrupt the state. I don't understand making that the first priority when there are bigger budget fish to fry. I especially don't understand eliminating collective bargaining rights entirely. It says "vendetta" more clearly than "painful but necessary."
Any time the government steps in to limit or eliminate rights, we should immediately be looking for the hidden reasons why. These voting rights proposals are too convenient for even me, someone who usually votes GOP, to take at face value.
