[EL] the effects (if any) of voter ID requirements on women of color

Greetings everyone.

There has been a lot of research in recent years on the impact of voter ID
laws on various populations (the elderly, the disabled, students, etc.).
 The Brennan Center has helpfully collected many of the reports.  But I
have not seen anything that specifically addresses women of color *as such*.
 Certainly the impact, if any, can be inferred from the work already done
looking at voter ID as it effects groups where women comprise a majority --
persons over 65 for example, or undergraduate and graduate students.  But a
more direct analysis would be much appreciated.

Is anybody aware of research that focuses narrowly on voter ID and women of
color?  Thanks.
