merc,

That’s why these scare tactics are probably going to backfire. The kinds of people who would consider voting for Trump are largely the kinds of people who will continue to have just as much opportunity to vote.

Trump’s team would definitely make it harder for black people to vote. His people would find a way to disenfranchise women. His team will probably find a way to block certain candidates, but there will still be Republican primaries, and then people will still get to vote for the Republican and against the token Democrat.

White rural males would still be allowed to vote. That’s both because they vote for the “right people”, so it’s safe to let them keep voting. The Trump team could also continue to point to them and claim that US democracy is strong. And, it’s important that those people continue to believe that under Trump democracy still exists, because white male urban voters will turn on Trump if they think he’s taking away their rights.
