The reason republicans want to make it harder to vote is that statistics show that the higher the turnout, the increase in democratic votes is more than the increase in republican votes. I mean think about it. People who vote republican do so because they are really into what they believe in, so they're going to turn out one way or another jumping through whatever hoops they need to. A democratic voter is more likely to be, as Limbaugh puts it, the low information voter, who is only going to show up if he gets shoved onto a bus to get to the polling booth and vote for democrat X because he "helps the kids and fights the evil corporations that made his neighborhood poor" and might even not realize he needs to bring his ID. Or may not realize that he needs to register to vote x amount of weeks before an election to be able to vote. I'm not saying this is the majority of demcoratic voters, these are just the marginal voters, but in massive numbers they can end up deciding elections.
