Their primary claim re "if the Census Bureau filly applied the penalty" is tied to state voter registration requirements. Not so much recent republican efforts to change laws.

Essentially that only allowing registered voters to vote (which every state does) denies/abridges the right to vote.

The lawsuit isn't going anywhere.
