Historically, this has backfired in the US because we have low turnout elections.

The people whose votes are being blocked get pissed and get off the couch on election day.

The groups that would normally support the side that’s loudly suppressing the vote lose enthusiasm, and are less likely to bother voting.

Hopefully, we’ll see the biggest example of this effect in recent memory this November.

I hope so.

Instill* Fear is already installed as a byproduct of the regime.
