QUESTION: Is Voter Suppression a... FORM... of election fraud? (poll)

Seems we're having discussing about the tactic of the GOP keeping mostly minority demographics and other voters from voting being election fraud or not.

I'm thinking it doesn't matter if the DNC ran a combination of Obama mixed with JFK mixed with FDR some Ike thrown in and Lincoln on top who the white working class loved to no end with GOP voter suppression efforts the DNC STILL LOSES !!!

What say you?

thx in advance

We know the laws when passed. It's up to us to get folks help to pass the requirements, then help them show up.
