Voter suppression poses a significant threat to democracy, undermining the fundamental right to participate in the electoral process. Tactics such as strict ID laws, reduced polling places, and purging voter rolls can disproportionately affect marginalized communities, limiting their political voice. When citizens feel that their right to vote is jeopardized, it can lead to decreased engagement and a lack of trust in the political system. Ultimately, widespread voter suppression can distort electoral outcomes, exacerbate inequality, and challenge the legitimacy of democratic governance.
