Things like desanti's high profile arrests of black voters right before the election, for example.

Lack of drop boxes, confusing ballot rules, dis-allowed ballots due to technicalities - all these things are having the intended purpose. To blame it on "lack of enthusiasm" is just doing more of the same.
