>>>To start with the fact you still think there is no voter suppression problem in the USA. Perhaps you're searching, but then not looking at the results???? Or maybe you need to modify your search to something else...like "examples of voter suppression in usa" or maybe "voter suppression examples in usa" ????
>
>I don't mean examples of allegations that "voter suppression exists!" of which I've already agreed there's a tsunami overdose. I mean real life examples- like the ones in my previous posts. Just a reminder that 82 non-citizens caught voting in an Ohio election in 2016 was labelled "rare", but you can't provide even one example across the whole country of something you insist is widespread?

>If you do dissect some of the allegation avalanche, not only are SC rulings ignored to make the same discredited claims over and over, there's also numerous articles about "what voter suppression looks like" that are just ridiculous. Examples include Trump's advice to supporters to become election scrutineers to watch out for voter fraud. Apparently this is voter suppression because many Trump fans also support the 2nd Amendment, so.... well, you know, deplorables, shootings, GOP. Et voila.

>Sorry but to my mind, these Factphobic antics are not how a confident thinker presents their views. A reasonable person presents evidence in proportion to their insistence that they are correct.

>As a head's up: your obviously wrong insistence that asking you for evidence = denying voter suppression in the US, further reduces credibility of your other claims too.

geeeze...learn how to do your own research.

1. Voter ID requirements: Alabama, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Virginia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin passed new laws that require voters prove their identity with a voter ID. Indiana also passed a law letting party-nominated election officers demand voter IDs at the polls. The laws can severely limit which IDs are valid — Texas, for example, allows a gun permit and other government-issued IDs but not a student ID. Some states allow exceptions to their laws, but the process of obtaining an exception can be arduous, especially for poor, time-constrained voters.

2. Early voting cuts: Ohio cut a whole week from early voting, eliminating the “golden week” in which voters could register and vote on the same day. And Nebraska cut its early voting period from 35 days to no more than 30 days.

3. New requirements to register to vote: Kansas passed a law that requires new voters to show proof of citizenship to register to vote. Virginia also required groups submitting 25 or more voter registration forms to register with the state, and reduced the amount of time to deliver the forms from 15 days to 10 days.

4. L imits on mail-in ballots: Arizona made it a felony to collect and turn in someone else’s mail-in ballot, even with that voter’s permission. The US Supreme Court recently let the law stand for 2016.

5. Provisional and absentee voting changes: Ohio passed strict rules that can invalidate absentee and provisional ballots if forms accompanying those ballots aren’t filled out in a very specific way.

6. Polling place closures: Southern states, from Arizona to North Carolina, have closed down at least 868 polling places since the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Voting Rights Act in 2013. (The Voting Rights Act could have allowed the Department of Justice to stop these closures before, but not anymore.) These are only the closures tracked in about half the counties that were once covered by the Voting Rights Act due to their long histories of racial discrimination, so there have likely been hundreds or even thousands more closures nationwide.

7. Voter roll purges: Several states have attempted to conduct sweeping purges of voter rolls, potentially undoing voters’ registration without their knowledge. Some of these purges — such as North Carolina’s and Florida’s — have been overturned by courts, but not all are even known to the public until it’s too late.

a) Widespread voter fraud is a myth perpetrated to suppress American voters.
b) People of color in states with a history of voting discrimination had fewer places to vote in 2016.
c) On average, African American voters are required to wait in line for twice as long as white voters
d) Strict voter ID laws disproportionately burden voters of color.
e) Purging voter rolls unduly targets people of color.
