After the primary, I suggested there would be efforts to suppress voter participation in the general election:
[comparing the last two mayoral primaries] the same number of voters like Ms. Longrie, no matter how many people vote; while the same proportion of voters like Mr. Rossbach. Look for the Longrie campaign to try to suppress turnout in the general election, while Mr. Rossbach (whom I support) will be working on increasing participation.
Making the campaign feel ugly and dirty is a classic suppression technique. Have we noticed any signs of this?
