- tzs 10y agoQuestion for those down voting him. Are you down voting because you don't think voting suppression was been going on for the last few years, or because you don't think it made a difference in this election and so it is not relevant to this thread?
- Latty 10y agoThat is definitely a huge issue. More proof that FPTP and the Electoral College are fundamentally broken and not really democracy.
- dllthomas 10y agoThose issues seem orthogonal.
- Latty 10y agoVoter suppression is much easier to pull off and much more effective if only two parties can ever get into power. If more parties are in the running, or parties have less dominant control, gerrymandering and suppression is much harder to do effectively.
- dllthomas 10y agoHmm. Quite possibly the case, but not quite obviously the case.
