What voter suppression? Making people have to prove they are a citizen of America in some way, especially when so many states are so willing to take in mass amounts of illegals?
Voter ID laws for one. You must provide a photo ID when you register NOT when you vote. I have voted maybe 10-12 times in different elections and only one 1 occasion was I asked for an ID.
We all know that handicapped, elderly and minorities are more likely to not have valid photo ID's and more likely to not have driver's licenses.. This one isn't so egregious as I think people should be issued photo ID's for free anyway.
Limitations on early voting - In North Carolina, Republican lawmakers requested data on various voting practices, broken down by race. They then passed laws that restricted voting and registration in five different ways, all of which disproportionately affected African Americans. Among other things, they cut back on early voting.
[21] Later, the North Carolina GOP sent out a press release celebrating the decline in early voting by African Americans.
[22][23] Early voting is important for voters who do not have flexible working hours and cannot take time off on a weekday to vote.
Felon Disenfranchisement - In
Florida during the
2000 presidential election, some non-felons were banned due to
record-keeping errors and not warned of their disqualification until the deadline for contesting it had passed.
In 2004, 5.3 million Americans were denied the right to vote because of previous convictions.
Disinformation about voting procedures
Voters may be given false information about when and how to vote, leading them to fail to cast valid ballots. For example, in
recall elections for the
Wisconsin State Senate in 2011,
Americans for Prosperity (a
conservative organization that was supporting Republican candidates) sent many Democratic voters a mailing that gave an incorrect deadline for
absentee ballots. Voters who relied on the deadline in the mailing would have sent in their ballots too late for them to be counted.
[27] The organization said that the mistake was a
typographical error
In 2014, Alabama passed a law requiring a photo ID to vote; soon afterwards, the state shut down dozens of DMV offices in minority neighborhoods
But I know this is all bullshit right? lol
