One of the major political parties in the US has been repeatedly engaging in voter suppression. Is it partisan to observe repeated behavior on one side of the political spectrum, and to extrapolate accordingly?

Specifying "democrat" in this particular example of how an adversary having a .gov domain could be bad adds nothing to the example.

For the rest of the world, voting without proper documents screams voting fraud. It's not that black and white.

I don't know about NRA membership cards but I know for a fact that college ID cards tend to be quite easily to forge.

Regardless, it seems very weird to me that they would accept non-government issued IDs for elections.
