These are voters in this country:
These are voters in South Africa:
See what I mean:
Republicans in the state drastically cut back on the number of polling places. In Maricopa County, which contains Phoenix and is home to about 4.2 million people, the number of polling places was slashed from 200 a few years ago down to 60, or one polling place for every 70,000 residents.
How Republicans are gaming the voting system to tip the 2016 election in their favor
On a party-line vote, a Florida county’s Republican majority Board of County Commissioners voted Tuesday to eliminate almost one-third of Manatee County’s voting sites. The board accepted a proposal by Supervisor of Elections Mike Bennett (R) by a 6-1 vote to trim the number of precincts, despite unanimous public testimony against the move — and complaints by the lone Democratic Commissioner that it would eliminate half of the polling places in his heavily minority District 2.
Florida County Eliminates Minority-Heavy Polling Places
Since the Supreme Court’s 2013 voting rights decision, there have beenmultiple reports of states and localities, mostly in the South, taking discriminatory actions that created long voting lines: Morgan County, Ga., eliminated more than a third of its polling places, despite an outcry that the move would disenfranchise low-income and black voters. Hernando County, Fla., consolidated polling places in the most heavily black section of the county. Several counties in North Carolina have moved or closed minority election stations.

Some of the longest lines on Election Day occur at polling places in black and Hispanic neighborhoods. A new report says that’s not a coincidence.
This has nothing to do with voter ID. And some USMB GOP tards will insist that how could there be voter suppression in Blue states knowing full well it's the counties and a few officials that make that determination. While most of the country sees this as the disgrace it is, ignorant USMB Republicans are excited and hope it works too stupid to understand that when you tear down democracy, it also affect their kind and not just the people they fear and hate. Which is every American not white and Republican.
