I agree. Voter suppression has always happened in the USA. We fight it.
It's important to be specific about threat assessment so we know how to defend against it. A vague "we won't have midterms" isn't helpful.
They have been and will continue to be trying to gain access to states' voter rolls. They will try to unregister people. They will attempt to gerrymander in their favor. There will probably be ICE and other federal agents at some polling locations.
Furthermore these are all things that are already happening. There won't be some villainous master stroke at the final hour. The real threats are here now and there are actionable responses to them, but resorting yourself to doom is allowing yourself to give up entirely.
they aren't trying though, they are doing it in the open? they just barred trans people in Tennessee from voting. by having voter ID and revoking all trans people driving licences they practically disenfranchised a whole demographic. this election will be nasty.
