The same regressives who like to spout off about loving MLK and how he was a Republican, would be right there along with the segregationists screaming and hollering about MLK's socialistic ways if they were around in the 60's.
Are they suppressing the vote or preventing fraud?
Student IDs shouldn't be used for ID. - out of state students could vote twice. I guess if you want to call that voter suppression - you can in that they are suppressing the possibility of a person from voting twice.
Voting locations - whatever. Shouldn't make a difference.

The state's Board of Elections has referred only two cases of alleged voter impersonation fraud since 2004 to prosecutors.
Since statistics show there is no detectable voter fraud, the answer is, they're suppressing the vote.
Often times (due to inefficiencies of government) out of state student's names aren't taken off the list of eligible voters in their home county, so they can vote via absentee ballot as well as on campus while at school.
also, how is this suppressing voting? Now someone can't vote as early, but they can still vote. Also, what does it say about the student population if they aren't willing to vote because the polling station is now one mile away? The majority of americans travel more than a mile to vote.

If a student did do that, that would be voter fraud and would be prosecuted prior to the voter suppression laws being signed.
Everything the bill does make it harder, not easier, to vote. If you can't comprehend that that is voter suppression, then you're purposely being obtuse.
