This one I don't understand. How would voters vote Dem due to GOP voter suppression? Numerous studies and court cases have established that the voter suppression efforts of GOP legislatures and governors are specifically aimed at suppressing votes of those who tend to vote Democratic. And they are very successful. N.C. elections are an example. Link to post Share on other sites
