My point is that the cause of the long lines shown in the BBC article isn't likely to be targeted voter suppression because they are happening all over the US, ranging from areas where generally democrat-voting minorities live and voter suppression has been (and still is) an issue, to republican strongholds, to areas mostly populated by upper income white people (many who vote democrat) who have never waited more than 10 minutes to vote in their lives.
Also, everything you're saying is true (voter suppression is an issue in the US), as is everything I'm saying (wait times like the ones shown in the article aren't normal).
A number of people, yourself included, have decided to take the discussion on a tangent, presumably because it's more important and/or interesting to you.
I'm continuing address the questions of "are lines like this normal for US elections" with "no, it's not" (and here's the data backing that up).
