standing outside polling areas and harassing people does happen

Got an example that didn't end in arrest? If say one where they did it for an extended period of time uninterrupted, but we can set a real low bar for this one

Hell, they even took to destroying ballot boxes

I'm assuming you're referring to mail in ballot boxes...

Those things that aren't just out on election day?

And can (and do unfortunately) get vandalized on other days besides election day?

Did you mean to agree with me?

On the off chance you are hear to have a reasonable discussion, here - https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/11/06/election-officials-facing-armed-militia-presence-at-some-polls.html

People being harassed at polling stations. All the rest happens AS WELL, but it is a good idea to get your votes in early and safely.

Thanks for the example of how voter suppression isn't just on election day!

but it is a good idea to get your votes in early and safely.

I've never disagreed with that.

My point is voter suppression isn't just something that happens on election day, and thanks again for providing the source backing me up
