Vice President Joe Biden told the NAACP on Thursday that Republicans and presidential candidate Mitt Romney want to make it harder to vote.

“They see a different future, where voting is made harder, not easier. Where the Justice Department is even prohibited from challenging any of those efforts to suppress votes,” Biden said.

“Just close your eyes and imagine. Imagine what the Romney Justice Department will look like manual when his senior adviser on constitutional issues is Robert Bork,” Biden continued. “Imagine the recommendations for who is likely to be picked as attorney general and head of the Civil Rights Division and those other incredibly important positions at Justice. Imagine — and I mean, this is one of the most critical issues in this election.”
