There has been a fair amount of crying wolf over voter fraud, rigged elections, voter suppression, etc. these last few years. We are inevitably going to have a no-bullshit case of one of the above and no one is going to believe it.

no bullshit
Trump adviser tells Wisconsin Republicans that GOP has ‘traditionally’ relied on voter suppression but will ‘start playing offense’ in 2020

“Traditionally it’s always been Republicans suppressing votes in places,” Justin Clark, a senior political adviser and senior counsel to Trump’s re-election campaign, said at the event. “Let’s start protecting our voters. We know where they are. ... Let’s start playing offense a little bit. That’s what you’re going to see in 2020. It’s going to be a much bigger program, a much more aggressive program, a much better-funded program.”

Clark made the comments Nov. 21 in a meeting of the Republican National Lawyers Association’s Wisconsin chapter. Attendees included the state Senate's top Republican, Scott Fitzgerald, along with the executive director of the Wisconsin Republican Party.

That's a guy talking shit. I'm not sure if anyone followed up on it, but there's no evidence of any voter suppression in that article. As it actually says when you scroll down. 

schrodinger's douchebag strikes again

He got caught saying the quiet part out loud.
and had to backpedal....nonono that's not what I meant

for further evidence, look at what the GOP does, not just what they say:
the GOP is constantly trying to pass voter id laws, closing polling stations, removing voters, and stopping any legislation that would make it easier to vote, or have a paper trail

hard to believe he really meant anything else in that context

Lots of bluster, lots of insults, no evidence. This is what I'm talking about.

this shouldn't be so difficult to comprehend

Turnout in Michigan was up 33% from 2016, yet it was voter suppression

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/487383-ocasio-cortez-rampant-voter-suppression-contributed-to-sanderss-loss-in

really want to know her definition of suppression...

I’d say waiting in line for 3 hours is a form of suppression, particularly when you compare population density of registered voters by precincts and subsequent distribution of polling place employees and voting machines. It’s well documented. Whether AOC’s claim in this particular instance is accurate, I don’t know. But it’s worth investigating and if found to be true, there should be remedies.

my counter would be, despite a higher registered voter number, the election boards prepare based on historical turnout i.e. number of poll workers and machines at a given location.

further, there is no way to predict, along with actual turnout, just what time a set of voters will actually appear.

so the states either put up the cash to have enough machines in place for all eligible voters, registered or not. And have an equal number of volunteers on hand to  meet that potential demand. or the voters put ul with the inconvenience consistantly to force states to to put up the cash to meet demand.

this is driven by citizen apathy not sinister motives although that can also play a role.

I disagree. 

The charge of voter suppression carries the accusation that it was intentional and deliberate.  Being poorly managed, underestimating the turnout, not having enough workers, these are examples of perhaps unpreparedness, but not a deliberate attempt to try and prevent one group of people from voting.  

If you poorly manage on purpose, say in minority neighborhoods?

Im not saying there's no such thing,  I'm saying the charge in this case is specious.

Damn these executives and their fancy words.

If in Nov everything returns to normal and our emperor allows elections, we’ll be pretty pissed if thousands can’t vote in the swing cities.

The funny thing about AOCs claim, is voting was up 30% in Washtenaw County.

If you are a Bernie supporter unwilling to support Biden in the fall, then you are saying you are ok with a second Trump term. That's your choice, but that's on you. The same goes for anyone who would have refused to support Bernie if he became the nominee. The differences between Sanders and Biden don't make Trump any more qualified or acceptable. Get over yourselves and help end this.

You're going to have a difficult time persuading people by telling them to get over themselves. If that's all Biden supporters have for Bernie supporters, independents, disaffected Republicans, etc., he's screwed.
