The fact that the case was settled does not magically undo what the Republicans did.
"The Republicans" didn't do squat. The individual counties, per Florida law, swept the voter rolls to clear felons who could not vote from the rolls, and offered an appeals process to anyone who was improperly removed.
The NAACP didn't merely say "we're right" (which seems to be your method of argument.) They brought forth witness after witness, legal voter after legal voter, who'd been denied the right to vote.
Yes, they did. But that doesn't mean "The Republicans" did anything to them, or that the were not responsible for their own voting status. Unless you're saying that minorities cannot handle that sort of responsibility, right?
