The US (mostly the trending fascist party) does whatever possible to make sure the least amount of people possible get the opportunity to vote and for the people who do vote, make sure their vote does not count as much as possible. It also varies per state.

  • not giving out a national identification card, but then requiring an identification card to vote
  • voting districts with crazy borders to make absolute certain that the far right gets the most representatives possible maproomblog.com/…/wapost-gerrymander-1024x687.jpg
  • reducing the amount of voting centers every year in areas like major cities that vote more left so that the people would have to travel an hour or more to vote and without a car, it is almost impossible
  • Voting is not a public holiday and many states do not allow voting by mail. Combined with the before point removes many poor people’s ability to vote at all
  • there is a right wing effort to remove as many left leaning votors as possible from registration for minor errors
  • Armed party members at elections recently to intimidate voters, especially if they “look like the left demographic”
  • the “electoral college” which can just decide to not cast the vote that actually decides elections for the candidates that the citizens voted for

It is really batshit crazy over there. It seems like the right gets away with all of this crazy stuff and then when the left is back in power, almost nothing is done to change it back with regards to voting.
