Statistically speaking, Republican party voters are more white, more male, less poor*, less educated, more rural and older than Democrat party voters.
Making an effort to reduce a certain demographic’s ability or willingness to vote will necessarily affect one party more than the other. As an example, if you add hoops to jump through, people who are already at their limit, working a zillion hours a week, are unlikely to do it, while the average retiree will probably not mind.
*It’s complicated. Republican voters tend to be middle/upper-middle income, while Democrat voters tend to be lower/lower-middle income OR high income, leaving the middle for the Republicans.
