You know what other major political party that suppressed votes to win and went on to commit atrocious crimes against humanity?

You wouldn’t happen to be referring to the one with a leader that Trump’s own Education Dept just compared him to, would you?

Operation Eagle Eye 1964: a suppression operation aimed at restricting minority voters through ‘voter caging’. This was enacted by thousands of volunteers mostly at inner city ballots where they tested the literacy of voters as they turned up (literacy being a requirement, though not normally aggressively tested). Lyndon B. Johnson still won though.
