Keep those trigger words out there 'voter suppression' and that's all she is trying to do. Just because there is a process and procedure to voting doesn't mean it's 'suppression'.
Just because it is part of the process doesn't mean it isn't voter suppression. I've seen it first hand in my area. I live in the South. In 2008, I happened to live in a poorer area of the town. The town's voting districts were gerrymandered to put all the people renting apartments or in poorer areas in one district. Whereas the more affluent were in other districts.
My voting district had thousands of people directed to vote there by the state. The line was out the door, snaking through the parking lot and out to the sidewalk. It took 4 hours to vote. There was no voting machine issues to cause delays. Just volume. I didn't think anything of it at the time.
Four years later, I moved to another part of town - the more affluent part of town. Our entire voting precinct is 300 voters. They have just as many machines as my other polling place did. There's no lines. There was no line in 2012, 2014, 2016 or 2018. In 2020, the only line I saw was before the polling place opened. But anytime after 8:30am was clear.
All of those years, I've driven by my old polling place on my way home from work. So I drive by on Election Days too. That line is out the door around the corner every time. But my polling place in my more affluent area is nice and short. Plenty of parking. No lines. The other polling place has very limited parking. Even worse - somehow in the very early morning when I drive by the old polling place - nearby businesses have cars parked in every single spot - forcing voters to walk much further.
That's probably the LEAST of the voter suppression that goes on.
A North Carolina Republican operative and several others have been accused of ballot tampering in connection with a 2018 congressional race. GOP operative Leslie McCrae Dowless was arrested in February 2017 and charged with illegal ballot handling and obstruction of justice. Republican Mark Harris led slightly when an investigation into an absentee ballot operation on Harris' behalf suggested that Dowless had improperly collected and possibly tampered with ballots.
“Let them send it in and let them go vote, and if their system’s as good as they say it is, then obviously they won’t be able to vote, If it isn’t tabulated, they’ll be able to vote.” “That’s the way it is, And that’s what they should do.” Donald Trump encouraging people to vote twice
Sen. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina asked the Georgia Secretary of State about tossing ballots.
In North Carolina, Republican lawmakers have spent the past decade pushing for measures that make it harder for black voters to vote.
Republican Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick offered up to $1 million for evidence of voter fraud. Pennsylvania Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman offered up three cases of voter fraud where dead people voted for Trump. Patrick’s reply was ‘Get real’.
"Tip of the iceberg" is real and there is the start.
And democrats do not know how to win without voter fraud. BTW..Stacy for someone that keeps complaining of white privilege and racism in America...it seems you’re eating well these days “Fatso”..sorry to mean spirited but I can’t stand the woman.

I can't stand her, she has an extremely stupid face and God help Georgia if the people or the cheat system ever installs her as governor.

That is utterly absurd, but typical of the left's 180 degrees off M.O. Everything the lefties say is true of themselves.
Republicans prefer "states rights" which is code for go ahead and run you elections any way like like and discriminate at your own discretion. Republicans know that if every registered voter was given an equal opportunity to vote they will never win another election.
