  dKos Speaks. There was a diary at dKos about voter suppression that has generated some response in the progressive blog community. Anastasia P, the journalist, attempted to put the matter to rest. Her basic premise was that if suppression did exist, there would be reports of it. In the absence of such evidence, irregularities could be easily discovered by citizens who show up to vote early.

I hate to burst this Kossack's bubble (head) but voter suppression is difficult to detect until the day of the election when the suppressed show up at the polls to vote. CBS reports
"Voter suppression doesn't happen with intimidation on Election Day," said Michael Waldman, executive director of The Brennan Center for Justice, "but rather through silent and sometimes secret government actions in the weeks leading up to an election."
What are they drinking while they pound their keyboards, Kool-Aid?
