Bull Pockey... I have voted every year I was legally able even after learning that my absentee votes were tossed out do to a technicality (voting from over seas), chosing not to vote is not voter supression.
What a variety of different groups went through in the past, where laws kept them from voting or there were people there that physically kept them from voting.
People chosing to not vote is laziness or ignorance not suppresion,.

You completely missed the point. Many votes are MEANINGLESS. Why vote conservative today if you live in California? Why even vote? With a popular vote, there is actually a reason for those people to vote because it actually counts toward the total. With EC, it's pointless. EC is also bad for 3rd party candidates.
