Even Hitler had a lower approval rating in the 1933 elections than Trump in 2025. And that was when he was already in power, the first oppositionals where in prison, opposing newspapers were banned and these guys were patrolling in front of the polling stations.
That's what serious voter suppression looks like.
My point was more that you can't really tell without further analysis who stayed home based on their own choices and who was deliberately excluded, especially since making it harder to vote can be a combination of both.
