fricking this.
The less ignorant, uninformed people voting, the better.
Why is the assumption that because they are mostly black and hispanic they are ignorant and uninformed? Aren’t blacks and hispanics voting R in record numbers? Don’t turn them away now.

The change, which took effect quietly in July, means that around 2,470 mostly white voters will continue voting at the the Recreation Center, but 2,550 other voters, most of them Black or Hispanic residents who would have still voted there as early as this past spring, must now cast their ballots at The Mark Apartments precinct.

The Recreation Center is larger with hundreds of parking spots, and officials expect it to have between eight and 10 voting machines on Election Day. The Mark, which will now serve about 1,100 more voters than the Recreation Center, only has 25 parking spaces available. As of this past weekend, election officials only expected to allocate about five voting machines to The Mark.
All of this is irrelevant. Which precinct actually sees more traffic?

The OP is a race-baiting POS who thinks black people are too stupid and impatient to wait in line to vote like the majority of Americans do every 4 years.
You’re forgetting the part of blacks being too ignorant and/or self inefficient to get an ID to be able to vote as well.

You realize that you longer have to prove that you are an idiot prog Yankee, right?

I stood in line for over an hour with a bunch of other honkeys to early vote last week
We didnt bitch about long lines and suppression

Consequently, the lines for voting are extremely long because of the large land areas each precinct serves. This isn't voter suppression.
How many polling sites are at the precincts? You can’t just use your situation in order to dismiss another.

It does sound very strange, but what was the explanation for the move?

While Republicans usually edge out Democrats in the Ridgeland Recreation Center precinct, Democrat Mike Espy won 1,288 votes in the 2018 U.S. Senate special election, compared to incumbent U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith’s 1,178 votes. Espy is on the ballot again this year, once again challenging Hyde-Smith for her Senate seat. This year, hundreds more Democrats voted in the presidential primaries in the precinct than Republicans. After the boundary changes, though, the Recreation Center precinct will likely vote solidly Republican like all other District 1 precincts other than The Mark Apartments.

It was a move approved a long time ago. It just happened in July.
It’s a nothing burger.

Typical OMG article.

Lol the "crowded precinct" is less than five miles away and just because you're black, doesn't exempt you from waiting in line. I'm white and waited almost six hours to vote in 2016. I can't recall it ever taking less than four hours to vote. Not to mention twice now my voting location has moved and in 2012, they didn't even bother telling us they had moved it.
Also, your thoughts on certain swing states closing down voting precincts just in time for Novemeber 3rd, blaming it on "covid" when in reality we know that's the day most Republicans will vote?

There's a lot of "about" and "around" statements in there. And 20% of the moved voters were white. If they allocate 7 machines (article says "about" five) that's roughly the same amount of voters per machine as they would have had at the other polling place. Do you know exactly how many machines are at this polling place? Who gives a shite about parking. Park in the grass. Park on the road.
Where's the issue?

So they moved some people from a location that served 5,000 voters to one that only had 1,000 voters to make the zones more even and you call that suppression?
You are a willfully ignorant piece of human shite.
