Let’s start off with a loaded question: Is voter suppression a real thing, or is it an example of Democratic party propaganda? Choose one of the following:
A) The Democrats are crying in their milk about voter suppression to alibi themselves for the low voter turnout they are going to achieve on November 6 and to generate negative press for Republican candidates.
B) The Republicans are suppressing minority voters by Gerrymandering districts, throwing minority voters off voter rolls, turning them away at the polls, reducing the number of polling places in minority neighborhoods, shortening hours that polling places are open so that working people cannot get to the polls before they close, and refusing to restore the constitutional rights to ex-convicts after they have paid their debts to society.
C) Republicans are doing all these things, but Democrats are doing them too.
D) None of the above.
E) All of the above.
Without pretending that there’s a false equivalency between what Democrats are doing in the NINE states they control and what the Republicans are doing in the 27 states they control, there is ample evidence of widespread voter suppression in Republican states. The Republicans simply have more opportunities to do it than the Democrats do.
