Of course some things are distractions.

The reduction in polling places is a strategy that helps one particular group.

However the widespread changing of voter affiliation is much more obvious.

I can write a single SQL database update statement that could randomize the voter affiliations of just the right demographics (say by date of birth) and disenfranchise 10% with just a few minutes of access to the right terminal.

Changing it back if the gig is up would be much more difficult.

Let's see what happens next.
