There is simply no incentive to commit that crime. There is exactly the same incentive as that to suppress a vote for the other side.

- ch4s3 9y agoThat's completely untrue. If you can effectively as a legislative body identify demographics that reliably vote for your opposition and can identify their preferred voting methods you can target them with legislation or voter roll purges. The North Carolina state government was found by district courts to have done exactly that. The motivation is clear; stay in power. The path is similarly clear; purge your opponents supporters from the voting rolls, remove the voting mechanisms they use e.g. early voting, and require hard to obtain ID to vote, making exception for you own constituents e.g. Texas' allowance for concealed carry permits. So we have both motivation, means, and evidence of states doing this. What more do you need?
