From the “Republicans being Republicans” File:
In a hearing on Tuesday, Republican Waukesha County clerk Kathleen Novack spoke in favor of voting restrictions signed into law by Gov. Scott Walker (R) between 2011 and 2015, which opponents argue suppress the votes of non-whites.
Don’t be so impatient, gotta wait for it:
Novack argued that the state should end weekend voting because it gave an unfair advantage to large urban areas, where minorities are more likely to support Democrats.
Okay, for the money quote:
The county clerk added that long lines in urban areas were actually a sign that voters had enough access to polls.
“Apparently access is an easy thing or they wouldn’t have long lines,” she opined.

See, if people actually know where voting is taking place obviously that’s plenty of access.
