I recently moved to Texas from California. In my new district, I waited 90 minutes to vote, because although there were 8 voting machines there was only 1 person checking IDs to verify we could vote. So basically there were 6 empty voting booths and a single bottle neck. One of my co-workers in a less diverse part of town experienced 3 checkers and no wait times. I'm not sure it is suppression; it could just be poor staffing due to a shortage of applicants. Either way, it was pretty frustrating and very different from my experience in California.
