Why should we do ANYTHING that reduces participation? (I mean, I know the answer, but...)

i'm not sure what answer you know so i'll just tell you what i think. the name of the game is reducing the number of potential voters who won't vote for you party (or candidate etc.). if you can find a group of such potential voters and an innocent looking way to reduce their numbers (ie. picture id which will make poor/old people less likely to vote and say they overwhelmingly vote x) then if you're not x it's to your benefit to do everything you can to make them not vote.
