1968..Nixon had Kissinger tell the North Vietnamese to hold off on any peace agreement because he could give them a better deal. Not voter suppression but shows how fucking crooked he was. Costing thousand's of lives..

Now if he was that desperate for a win then he sure as hell hid votes,canceled votes and even stole them for the dumpster.

Then in 80..? in 88..and definitely in 2000 with entrance of Karl Rove

They tried to steal it in 2008..and even 2012 because they were shocked when Ohio was called for Obama.
