It's okay if you don't understand what Voter Suppression is but you should probably go look it up before you call someone else's opinion rubbish whilst displaying to everyone that you completely missed the point.
This is just a tactic to demonise voters, to put the legitimacy of an unfavourable demographic to question and to make it harder for people to vote legitimately in the future. It wouldn't surprise me if someone uses this story to push through a law that requires students to return home to vote, something that wouldn't be possible for many students. That is voter suppression in the guise of anti-voting fraud because it makes it harder for people of certain demographics to vote.
Practice what you preach because you often accuse people of not supporting the democratic process for not agreeing with you but you are in support of what is a thinly veiled attempt at Voter Suppression.
How shamelessly hypocritical.
