- Target precincts with heavy Democratic turnout.
- Make the process as intimidating, stressful and unpleasant for people exercising their right to vote and for the poll workers
- Do whatever they can to slow down the line. Frivolous challenges, unnecessary questions, anything.
- Adding just a minute to every 3rd or 4th voter adds up when 200 citizens are waiting in line.
- Voters who have to get back to work, have children to pick up from school, medical appointments, give up and end up not voting.
