It doesn't matter for the office of president, voter suppression is a much larger deal. Cities are generally strongholds for blue candidates so you'll see the local elections board comprised of old white men from the cities' suburbs place only a token amount of polling places in the city. Voting lines stretch for miles every presidential election and it's not uncommon for people to have to wait 8+ hours to vote.
That is so utterly fucked up. I've only ever had to wait longer than 20 min in one election and that was a municipal election that had way more turnout than they expected. JFC
Entire states vote for President. Districts in those states change every 10 years so those can be gerrymandered for positions in Congress. States overall stay the same so there is no gerrymandering for president.
Hmm good point. Sorry I'm not American so I don't fully comprehend the nuances of your world class democracy lol
