(4,940 posts)37. Voter suppression isn't going to be addressed by a Trump administration.
If those voter suppression laws were legally enacted, then you can't legally reinstate any of those votes. And the Supreme Court isn't going to overturn them anytime soon if they haven't already.
The only way to address voter suppression is to get a democratic congress in in 2018 and to tackle the problem at the state level.
In the meantime, we can actually recount the votes to ensure that the totals were accurate and the machines weren't hacked.
