Notice that its a huge impact in the urban areas and spikes the most in the border areas (Hidalgo 41%; El Paso 38%).

But that was the whole point of the republican voter suppression of course. Knock off a few percentage points from the urban communities and stop Latinos from voting. Because we all know that those communities tend to vote Democratic.
