No. Voter suppression is a garbage tactic for garbage people. Here:

There's a whole book of dirty tricks that democrats should pull.
Also: automatic voter registration. That's our answer.
That looks interesting. I'm definitely interested in all kinds of reform. This is a book I enjoyed which had more practical ideas:

A lot of the ideas are about increasing democracy but it's interesting in that the whole book could play out in real life, everything in there could be accomplished by democrats with 1 person majorities in the house, Senate, and the president. That's interesting to me because it's a more pragmatic look at changing the system as is.
Like I said before, once we get to the point where changes are unconstitutional I tend to get less interested in reforming democracy in a way that's more effective, and more interested in eliminating it. Since at that point it's all impossible anyway barring a revolution, but I might as well dream big.
Do you know if the authors of your book make an effort to keep their reforms constitutional or possible within our current system as is?
EDIT: I don't mean to get too partisan. I'm not a republican, but I have to admire their gamesmanship in manipulating the system to achieve their ideological goals. Vote suppression, gerrymandering, changing legislative rules or norms, politicizing the courts. It's all directed towards outcomes I couldn't disagree more with, but unlike others I can't condemn attacks on democracy or minority rule when I'd do it in a heartbeat if I could.
