It's because the whole racism thing used to play so well. The key words there are "used to". People (even on the left) are getting tired of it which is a shame. Because it does exist and they've cried racism so much people will begin to ignore actual racism. Not one person, here, in the media or politician has been able to explain what is racist about any of these voter bills. Tell me they did this to keep more registered Democrats from voting I may tend to agree because Republicans are scum bags too. They are all cut from the same cloth. But don't tell me they did it to keep blacks from voting. Jim Crow on steroids my ass.
