The very definition of "voter suppression"?  Some idiot property manager putting up "no trespassing" signs at both entrances to my local voting precinct at Lambert Hall, 03 Bellefonte South.  The officials were just sitting there, doing their ritual rather than doing their job and getting rid of the damn signs.  Who cares how closely the political signs are located to the entrance if you have to break the damn law to set foot in the precinct?

Trying to get a hold of someone w/ the party or the county.

Update: someone from the party called back & got the details, and is going to try and do something about it.

How'd this one wind up?
Reading Sharer/1960.

Sometimes you shout into a well, and no echoes come back; who knows? Does that mean it's a bottomless pit?

The property still has no trespassing signs.

What's Shirer/1960? There's a pretty good book on the 1960 campaign by David Pietruza, and a famous one I haven't read (but seen cited) by Ted White.

Oh, the first hardback edition of 'The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich' (William L. Shirer)-- quite the page-turner with exquisite detail to someone with a less than complete familiarity with any of the domestic politics in motion before and after the fall of the Weimar Republic!

BTW, for any lost soul wandering through my back-issues, the no-trespassing signs disappeared about two-three month ago without fanfare. Dunno if some clever-boots vandal tore them down, or someone in a position of bureaucratic authority yelled at the property-manager and the system worked as it can, belatedly and after the fact.
