Gerrymandering is anti-democratic.
Crafting campaign finance laws in such a way that those with more wealth can disproportionally affect election outcomes is anti-democratic.
Voter suppression/disenfranchisement in the form of impediments to voter registration, voter ID laws, felon disenfranchisement, misinformation about voting process/procedures, closure of DMV offices, etc. are all anti-democratic tactics used by political parties to reduce/refuse voting access by constituents.
If a party can make voting inconvenient/inaccessible to a targeted population they can win electoral outcomes that do not match constituency desires.
Voter suppression is real.
Voter suppression works.
