Can Voter Rage Offset Voter Suppression?

Rand Paul Was Right About Republican Vote Suppression (Jonathan Chait) from New York Magazine
"The trouble, for Republicans, is that vote suppression creates an opposing force. It allows Democrats to (correctly) place Republicans within the history of odious tactics designed to limit the political power of minorities, and thus making the act of voting itself a form of
political protest. Conservatives like Ross Douthat have argued that vote suppression probably inspires more Democrats to register and vote than it keeps away from the polls."
