Also take a look at voter ID regulations that the Republicans have been pushing hard for years now, which make it more difficult to vote in poorer areas which are again mostly minority populations. That's not even taking into account taking time off to actually vote, easy to do as a white collar worker, but vastly more difficult if you're juggling multiple minimum wage jobs that won't give you time off to go vote

Is there some data to support that areas in Texas with largest percentage of minority populations had less access to early voting? Advance polls in Houston were open for weeks. They were plentiful and at least one extremely large centrally located polling station was open 24 hours.
