What would Democratic voter suppression look like?

[EuroStyleSocialist]

I feel confident that my (Democratic) party works to craft a message that appeals to voters and then encourages everyone to vote (unlike the other party that crafts a very narrow message and then tries to thwart people voting). But if Democrats were to adopt those tactics, how would it even work? Republicans make it harder for African-American voters to vote because they're a reliable Democratic voting bloc. What could we do in reverse? Make it illegal to vote if you own more than one house? If you're a gun owner, require you to bring your birth certificate because ...? (I know not all gun owners vote Republican.)

It seems like the only kind of voter suppression that works is the kinds that makes voting more expensive and time-consuming, which hurts all people who struggle economically (and thus, disproportionately, people of color).

Of all the terrible elements of this election, the one that makes me maddest (and saddest) is the effort put into preventing people from voting (50 years after the Voting Rights Act). The right to vote should be sacred.

1. Said here on DU: "If you can't be trusted with a gun, you can't be trusted with a vote".

I disagree.

I believe that currently incarcerated inmates (even the ones who can't be trusted with guns and ammo in their cells) should be allowed and encouraged to vote via absentee ballot from their prison cells, because I believe that the right to vote is a basic and fundamental human and civil right, not a privilege like...well...you know...guns.

2. An interesting thought experiment. I've been asking myself this question in a different form:

why is voter suppression always against Dems?

3. Large muscular black males as poll watchers in rural white towns

That would be the counter-answer.
