Chicago’s $2M precinct consolidation plan denounced as ‘voter suppression’ – Chicago Sun-Times

Ald. Anthony Napolitano agreed consolidation “could kind of be seen as a suppression of voting” because the board is “taking a larger amount of people and putting ’em in a smaller number of voting sites,” he said. "I just think that we’re gonna be cramming a lot of people [who] are gonna show up on Election Day and say, ‘There’s too many people. I’m not gonna vote.'"
