Voting

 When a political parties existence seems to depend on keeping votes from counting you have to wonder.

Some of the inequity started to protect slavery and it helps to continue discrimination.

In addition to the inequities built into the system via the US Senate and the Electoral college, the primary goal on many levels is to discourage or discount "bad" votes.

In the not so distant past they used things like poll taxes or other reacist means to suppress "undesirable" voters.

Now it has to be a bit more nuanced and they use things like voter I.D. which sounds neutral but isn't for many reasons.

Voting is a right and a privilege and the role of Government should be to make every vote count.  Right not it seems like in some places they want only the right votes to count.
