“One person should not be allowed to vote one hour longer than another person,” Brass said.

The House Governmental Affairs Committee added the provision to eliminate Sunday voting to the same bill after it passed the Senate last month. State Rep. Mary Margaret Oliver (D), one of five Democrats on the committee, called the bill “anti-voting rights.”

If this legislation does pass and Republicans continue to be overt about their intention to suppress black voters, the bill would violate the U.S. Constitution. Democrats and voting advocates are also likely to raise objections under the Voting Rights Act, although the U.S. Supreme Court significantly weakened the power of that landmark legislation in 2013 when it ruled that states and jurisdictions with a history of racial discrimination, like Georgia, no longer need to preclear changes to their voting law with the Department of Justice.

While voter ID laws, cuts to early voting, and the elimination of same-day registration all have disproportionate impacts on voters of color, GOP lawmakers have gotten even more creative in recent years. In 2015, Alabama announced a plan to close 31 driver’s license offices mostly in rural, poor, and majority-black counties, making it more difficult for voters to obtain the ID necessary to cast a ballot under state law. But after that proposal drew controversy, then-Gov. Robert Bentley (R) reversed course and decided to reopen the DMVs in all 31 counties. League-leading Sounders Ride Momentum Into World Cup Break
