This is your position, though. Clearly your strategy is to find one example of the Democrats doing something that can be categorized as voter suppression so that you can say, "well both sides do it!"
Do you really think that both parties equally try to suppress the votes of black people?
I do think your position is clear, but it's not what you're saying it is.

yep. originalists citing "what the framers meant when they drafted it" while ignoring hundreds of years of technological advancement is just dumb. I agree with at least considering the problem initially presented giving rise to the legislation, but spare me the notion that we should be bound to what people would have done 400 years ago.

Trump campaign may try to appoint its own slates of electors
A real nightmare scenario: The eight closest battleground states might send competing sets of electors to Congress

anybody else noticing houses take their trump signs down? 
There are none by my house but when I’m out in the burbs and sticks for work I always remember the klan houses. Slowly yet surely the trump signs are vanishing.
you know it’s not libs stealing them either because they probably would just re up the next day from the trump stash.

they need to have an independent party do ballistics on that 9mm casing. It is sounding more and more like his own partner shot him.

I wish I was the same level of scumbag Delk is now, when I was 19.“No matter who is doing it”
When my girl says one of her homegirl's saw me out with my side chick, I would just look my girl dead in her face and say, "I am against cheating, no matter who is doing it".

Plenty of problems with the 538 article have been pointed out in the article comments. And equating scheduling issues to straight up dismissing ballots, kneecapping federal agencies, and arbitrarily purging voter rolls? Seriously?As I have made clear I don't support voter suppression, period. No matter who is doing it.
I am not sure if I missed your post but here are some recent articles that point to the Democratic party engaging in voter suppression.
Democrats need to fix their own voter suppression problem

How Democrats Suppress The Vote
How Democrats Suppress The Vote
In the ongoing fight between Democrats and Republicans over election procedures like voter ID and early voting, the Democrats are supposedly the champions of hi…fivethirtyeight.com
I used fivethirtyeight and CNN since you often cite them as sources.
Make no mistake, Dems engaging in these practices do not justify the vile practice being done by the GOP. And vice versa.
Regarding the CNN article, why would any party let outsiders decide who will represent the party platform? Open primaries only increase the likelihood of gaming the electoral process. Open up the legislative process and the number of political parties instead by getting rid of the FPTP voting system (or requiring 50% of the vote to declare an election winner).

Media all trying to say Trump is healthier today, don’t call it a comeback unless it’s above Delk’s cheeks.

I’m in Florida so there are plenty. However one day last week, someone vandalized all of them in my 2 mile area. They took the “Ence” out of pence and replaced it with “Utin”... now they are all are either down or painted over white. You really hate to see it

you want to see voter suppression? this is Texas's 2nd congressional district, currently led by Dan Crenshaw. the first picture is what it was pre2012. pretty solid block and shape so it seems appropriate. the further right it goes, the deeper into red country it is.
it was then redrawn in 2012 to look like this. You might be wondering, why the hell is this district drawn like this? This seems odd. It's because the next picture approximately covers the voter identity of the areas. the blue areas are more inner city and more densely populated. the northwestern red areas are suburbs of houston with more master planned communities and older folks. these folks aren't necessarily rich, but they are more haves than have nots. the north east is more of the same, but deeper into republican good ol boy country. they're drawn into this district specifically to drown out the dense blue area.
we can go back and forth about both sides this and that but this is blatantly wrong and needs correction. today, one party favors this more than the other, making them the problem.

Gets the best medical treatment any American will ever get because his dumbass got infected. Then gives a big "F U" to everyone trying to stay afloat during a pandemic.
Hopefully this gets more people to vote the next 4 weeks. We have to win by a landslide

is ANTIFA still paying tiny house housing credits and paying for a degree in lesbian dance?
asking for a friend.
