Every alleged "voter suppression" bill I have seen appears to me to be perfectly reasonable, i
Well yes, indeed. These bills seem perfectly reasonable to the white suprmacists, the neo-nazis and donald trump as well.
Especially when you discount the actual conditions on the ground…
I have no idea what State you are talking about or what the situation was before or how many people vote there. So no, I don't know what the demographics are.
I can see why a person who wants to advance the idea that no protection of voters rights needs to happen would eliminate the evidence by claiming they don’t know the situation. And then pretend that no one else knows, either. Like McConnell, the tactic appears to be distraction.
But the truth that Americans know is that “on the ground,” voter supression is happening. It’s been prominent in the news for all those not watching FOX or Breitbart. Some of those Americans have stated the case here, but google will instantly find the reports, including stats, photos, videos and on-the-ground reporting.

In some states, voters had to queue for several hours to vote in some precincts, while there were no delays in affluent neighborhoods. Why?
Why indeed? Since I cannot verify anything you are saying
An attempt at introducing doubt, when no doubt is warranted; “how can I verify?” But of course it is easy to verify, and it is widely reported. So why would a person say they cannot verify, especially to the people who live in those places? Why would someone argue against the voting reform so vociferously without knowing the situation on the ground? In McConnell’s case, it is because he has an agenda. To maintain and gain power. Other people like the white supremacists have agendas for why they argue like this - they don’t want minorities to gain any power
and they like to stand on the necks of minorities, metaphorically, for pleasure.
When the evidence is easy to verify, such as knowing that white people have a lower rate of getting turned away from polls compared to black people, but one nevertheless embraces the deceit of hiding the white person number and diluting it in an all-person number, it is interesting to look at the tactics used. Some people, like McConnell, deliberately use deceptive numbers, and claim they don’t see evidence. Other people are fooled by him and believe him.
The data is there, the malevolent pretend it is not and the ignorant believe them.
