in an attempt to gain enough power to move to the real thing.

They're trying to keep Democrats and left-leaning indies from voting in order to complete a takeover that's been going on for decades and took a giant leap forward in 2016. It would be a dreadful mistake to imagine the giant battle between liberal egalitarian government and conservative authoritarian government as bigotry directed against minority groups, although that's of course horribly real also.
