Yeah, it's much harder for blacks to vote. First of all, it's not like us, who can just pop in after work for 5 minutes and vote for one thing.
1. The polling station is too far away.
2. Don't have ID (blacks born before i think 1960 have no birth certificates and can't get id)
3. No election laws for work to give you 3 hours. Some blacks are poor, they can't afford to take a day off to go vote.
Mail in voting really solved some of these issues this time, perhaps flipping a state like Georgia.
Everyone should read Ta-Nehisi Coates' Between the World and Me. I discusses a lot of disconnects that blacks have with the world that you could not imagine.
