Another vote suppression tactic?
When you add the reduction of precincts to; restriction on early voting; more stringent voter I.D. requirements for registration and voting; criminal penalty on third party to register voters (League of Woman Voters - Quit voter registration); you start to see a pattern of those in control of the states and county's machinery to suppress the vote. Especially the votes of the young first time voter, the elderly long time voter, the working poor with limited transportation. What would you do if you saw a long line at the polling place? Now wounder voters are just giving up on government.
