<http://news.yahoo.com/black-vote-ohio-fueled-voter-id-bills-131452246--politics.html>

This is quite consistent with Chapter 3 of /The Voting Wars 
<http://www.amazon.com/Voting-Wars-Florida-Election-Meltdown/dp/0300182031/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1329286945&sr=1-2-catcorr>/.

increase turnout.
