1 a strategy used to influence the outcome of an election by discouraging or preventing specific groups of people from voting. (Wikipedia)
"The tactics of voter suppression range from minor changes to make voting less convenient, to physically intimidating and even physically attacking prospective voters, which is illegal. Voter suppression can be effective if a significant number of voters are intimidated or disenfranchised." (Wikipedia)
A few recent examples of voter suppression in America:
Strict Voter ID laws
Closure of DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) in minority neighborhoods
Shutting down polling places in minority neighborhoods
Depriving voting locations in minority neighborhoods of resources like voting machines and poll workers
Purging voters from the rolls shortly before elections
Furthermore, "The House voted to include an emergency grant of $25 billion to the post office to facilitate the predicted flood of mail ballots. Trump conceded that the post office would need additional funds to handle the additional mail-in voting, and said he will not grant any additional funding because he wanted to prevent any increase in balloting by mail."
