Demographics are growing ever more against the GOP and Trump who seem to want to only appeal to white voters, so how do and did they win. It seems they used mutiplw ways of suppressing the votes. The biggest of course was voter ID laws, but it was certainly not the only way. Purging voter roles was a way they used mny state. A good example was Georgia where the present Governor elect purged more than a million voters off the roles in the past four years and held up over 50 thousand more votes from being counted by a law that made it possible for him to do so. Eliminating polling places is mostly minority areas was another method. In Missouri they moved a polling place for a minority area a mile and a half outside the area in an place that had no public transportation. Another method was reducing the number of polling places to cause long lines and thus inducing people to give up on voting rather than waiting for hours to do so. A final method I will mention is to insure that in minority voting areas that only old voting machines were available that would break down once again causing minority people to give up and go home without voting or to incorrectly interpret the voters wishes. there were more efforts than this to suppress those who do not fit the demographics of Trump, but I am sure that these are enough to get a discussion going on this subject, if Trump supporters can come up with any logical reasons for these methods.
