I will write a longer response later or tomorrow, but in the meantime, I
am not the only one who took your post (and especially its title) to its
logical conclusion:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/catherine-rampell-voter-suppression-laws-are-already-deciding-elections/2014/11/10/52dc9710-6920-11e4-a31c-77759fc1eacc_story.html?wpmk=MK0000203
Catherine Rampell: Voter suppression laws are already deciding elections
Voter suppression efforts may have changed the outcomes of some of the
closest races last week. And if the Supreme Court lets these laws stand,
they will continue to distort election results going forward....
It's still early to definitively quantify the effects that these laws
had on national turnout or on the outcomes of individual races. Initial
estimates <http://www.electproject.org/2014g>suggesting that turnout
rates sank to theirlowest level since 1942
<http://www.electproject.org/national-1789-present>look pretty damning,
but so many factors can affect turnout (weather, ballot initiatives, the
perceived closeness of races, etc.) that it's hard to isolate the
effects of a single change. More data and statistical analysis expected
next year will help.
In the meantime, some back-of-the-envelope
calculations<http://www.brennancenter.org/blog/how-much-difference-did-new-voting-restrictions-make-yesterdays-close-races>from
Wendy Weiser --- director of the Democracy Program at New York
University's Brennan Center for Justice --- should at least give us
pause: Right now, it looks like the margin of victory in some of the
most competitive races around the country was as big as the likely
"margin of disenfranchisement," as Weiser puts it. That is, more people
were newly denied the right to vote than actually cast deciding ballots.
