Where did I claim 65% of the population was actively suppressed? I'm assuming you're talking about my comment. Never said that. As a matter of fact, I never said anything about voter suppression at all and neither did the comment above mine.

The Dems ran a weak campaign with the human equivalent of a wet fart for a candidate. The progressive candidate, Nikki fried, hardly received any mainstream coverage (I wonder why) and lost the primaries. You were right that people didn't feel motivated to vote. I worked to change that but at the end of the day,.I don't really blame anyone for not turning up to vote for a spineless, moderate, ex-republican-cum-democrate. The people want change. And that wasn't what the Dems were offering.

However, I would like to add, that voter suppression is a much larger issue than you're making it out to be. And not a lot of it is the highly visible forms that you've been describing. Just a few ways that people have been prevented from voting:

-Vote by mail ballots being disqualified

-vote by mail becoming more restricted

-Making voter registration difficult and inaccessible

-Arresting people for voter fraud on no legal basis

-voter intimidation via poll watching

-Gerrymandering

And those are just what I could think of off the top of my head. Thats just a part of a greater conversation on how our elections are poorly designed. How first past the post voting, leads to a lot of the problems we have today. How the electoral college should be abolished. How the bills our government pass don't correlate at all with popular support/majority opinion. I could go on. The extraordinary evidence you want to see is out there. Voter suppression and terrible election practices are a blight on this country.
