The idea
Citizens over sixty-five, with high income and advanced education, are very likely to vote; those under thirty are less likely. Registration hurdles and many yearly elections depress turnout; early voting and mail ballots answer one-day weekday voting.
In practice
After Shelby v. Holder, states left preclearance and some required photo identification.
Where people slip
The anchor reports the change without verdict.
