Identification Required to Vote in States

The genesis for this research began when listening to White Rage, White Fragility, and How to Be an Antiracist over the summer. These three books talk about systematic racism as demonstrated by election laws.

In order to challenge myself, I examined the data using Tableau Public (I am generally an SPSS guy).
1. I summarized requirements as found from the U.S. Vote Foundation.
2. I documented the data using Excel.
3. I I initially displayed the data with Tableau, then fixed with Mapchart.
Caveat: This may not incorporate local interpretation of voting regulations.
