1. Voter suppression

   Voter suppression is a strategy used to influence the outcome of an election by discouraging or preventing specific groups of people from voting. It is distinguished from political campaigning in that campaigning attempts to change likely voting behavior by changing the opinions of potential voters through persuasion and organization, activating otherwise inactive voters, or registering new supporters. Voter suppression, instead, attempts to reduce the number of voters who might vote against a candidate or proposition. 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. In 2013, the United States Supreme Court ruled in Shelby v. Holder that voting laws had resulted in voter suppression and discrimination.

Examples of voter suppression in a Sentence

1. Jody Hice:

   I don't know that they did anything to keep the game in Georgia. I mean they were all screaming voter suppression, take the All-Star Game elsewhere, and that's what happened and as a result it's going to cost about $100 million to the businesses in Georgia.

2. Mike Espy:

   Here's what you're not going to get from me : You're not going to hear any talk about voter suppression. You're not going to hear any talk about public hanging.

3. King III:

   Senators now face one of the most existential choices of their tenure : protect our voting rights or go down in history as an enabler of voter suppression.

4. Brittany Kaiser:

   By allowing politicians in the UK and the U.S. to engage in voter suppression tactics, using disinformation and discrimination, we are now just as unprotected as we were in December 2016, why do I say this? Because in 2016 I was there (working at Cambridge Analytica).

5. Stacey Abrams:

   For me it was déjà vu. I am very aware of the frailty and the fallacy of the notion of acts of democracy in Georgia, we watched the secretary of state in 2018 set up a system of voter suppression and we watched the current secretary of state continue the same work. The reality is this was a mix of incompetence, malfeasance. It was a deliberate indifference to voters and it's a solvable problem.
