"I don't know all the reasons but there is a % of minorities (and yes blacks) who find it hard get the appropriate ID."
You're smart. if you don't know the reasons, they can't be wide-spread reasons.
Hard. Not impossible. It's "hard" for me to get up an hour earlier to go vote before work. But since I don't work near where I live, I can only vote before work. It sucks getting up early, but I choose to do it. Others don't care enough. I'm not inclined to allow people to vote on-line just to make it easier for them.
You said it - hard. Those people can choose to do what is hard, or they can choose not to do what is hard. All that matters is this - it's their choice to make. The GOP isn't making that choice for them.

Fine - minorities.
"Repubs seem to want to do anything they can to keep the vote count down"
The GOP can't keep the vote down. If the vote is down, it's because people freely choose not to vote.
