This is what happened in NC after they gutted Voting Rights Act.
The North Carolina voters featured in these five new videos would beg to differ. Each of them was denied the right to vote in 2014 after North Carolina lawmakers rewrote state election laws and passed H.B. 589. The law disproportionately burdens students, communities of color, and elderly voters by shortening early voting by a week, eliminating same-day registration, gutting pre-registration for 16- and 17-year-olds, invalidating votes cast out of precinct, and implementing a strict voter ID requirement.
The North Carolina law was passed less than two months after the Supreme Court’s ruling, which prevented the U.S. Department of Justice from reviewing and preventing discriminatory state and local election laws and practices before they take effect. Over in Texas, then-Attorney General Greg Abbott announced immediately after the Shelby decision that the state’s strict voter ID law would be implemented. And as lawsuits challenging the laws in North Carolina and Texas play out in federal court, report after report has documented persistent voting discrimination across the country. The laws are cloaked in concerns of voter fraud, but the only fraud being committed — as the voters below know too well — is the passage of these restrictive measures.

There are many good videos posted at the link. Here is one that focuses on student disenfranchisement, since that is topic du jour around here right now.
And one about the intention shortening of the early vote period specifically targeted at undermining "Souls to the Polls".
We would be having problems here due to losing the 2010 election and, as a result, the redistricting fight, but it would be no where near as bad if section 5 of the VRA was still in effect.
This is why Democrats must appoint the next Supreme Court justice and why we must #RestoretheVRA

hurting young Sanders voters. But these laws were not formulated to disenfranchise students, particularly. That is just a twofer. Students trend liberal and Democratic, but not in anywhere near the percentages that blacks do. The GOP makes these laws to target black citizens because they vote in such overwhelming percentages for Democrats. And yet many here seem to have it turned around in their heads the the DNC is behind this to "get" Sanders voters 
I also like that these are narrative explanations. It is not all statistics and facts. You can actually see the voters who are affected. I am hoping that now young white voters will also see the importance of restoring VRA since they have now experienced the bitter unfairness of disenfranchisement themselves.
