It's one of many voter suppression tactics in urban areas. https://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/25/opinion/long-lines-at-minority-polling-places.html https://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/25/opinion/long-lines-at-min... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_suppression_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_suppression_in_the_Unite... Elections are mostly regulated at the state and county level, which causes a lot of disparities in registration law and polling place funding.
