You probably already know that voter suppression is bad news but it can be hard to say “no” to self-proclaimed 'poll watchers' and still be cool. Here are some ideas to help when you go to cast your ballot.

Step 1: Go to your primary care physician and adopt a dog


Observe and study the dog's behavior and pinpoint it's animalistic dominance and spirit


Channel the dog and act as it would to intimidate and stun the poll worker so that you can make your way to the booth and vote free of suppression

Manifisto


so you're saying, hump the vote suppressor person's leg?

because that could work

18. Step 1: Reaffirm your commitment to communism and the destruction of the proud history of Democracy in the U.S.A.


Step 2: Use the secret funds you were given to lure a decadent american cow:


Step 3: Slaughter the cow and utilize your knowledge of evil communist sorcery to make a magical powder that will aid you in fooling the noble american poll worker:


Step 4: reap the fruits of your labor to distract the poll worker and help the motherland defeat the capitalist pigs:

As long as you are a privileged white male vote free of suppression and return home to the unconditional love of your $3000 pure bred dog who has been home guarding your mini mansion in the suburbs far away from the brown people

Mahoro says, "Naughty things are bad."
25. If you live in a red state with an early voter registration deadline, no vote by mail, no early voting, restricted voting hours on election day, and a voter ID law, all you have to do tell them, "Your work here is already done. You can go home now."

To "Just Say No" to voter suppression, one must have a reason and that reason must be that there are more interesting, and productive activities to choose from. It also helps to have an answer to peers who may attempt to suppress your vote. Be strong as sometimes you may have to lie about how much voter suppression you have had that night, e.g: "I have already had far too much tonight", or, "Sorry dude, it doesn't agree with my chest, I get really bad asthma". When declining the offer keep strong but calm, if you become too abrasive to the voting suppressor there could be consequences, for they are most likely interpreting your decline differently than your meaning. Keep in mind, people who offer you voter suppression, are most likely on voter suppression.
