Was going to say, none of that happens here. They need one form of identification, when you get your license you can register to vote, super easy to absentee vote or vote in advance for days before the election... not really much voter suppression happening here. I guess we are lucky that our reps aren’t trying that shady shit. But I also can only speak for myself.
It seems to be mainly Georgia, Kansas, and Texas getting the worst of it. Blatantly shutting down polling centers in blue areas is the most overt form of suppression (taking an hour to cast a vote after work is a powerful deterrent). Even in a red state it's going to depend where you live though.
Also news today of Miami voters waiting hours to vote because the polling center ran out of ballots, just as another fresh example.
