The title to this article is Lose Your House, Lose Your Vote.

I've been on the hunt for issues of voter suppression underway by the GOP and it appears I've found it: in the swing state of Michigan.

It appears that African-American voters who have foreclosures on their homes underway and if they are registered to vote using those addresses, could have their voter eligibility challenged per the State of Michigan's challenge process. This all appears engineered by the state's GOP.

The goal of voter suppression is not always to deny people to vote. It is also a tool to create long lines and discourage people eager to vote with the delays.
