Voter suppression is the usually intentional act of trying to keep voters from voting. The goal is to keep people who aren't likely to vote the way the suppressor wants, from either voting or having their votes counted. There are many possible methods, such as trying to confuse some voters into thinking the election is a day or two after the actual date of the election. Another possibility is to have votes disqualified by challenging the qualifications of the voter, even after the fact. The most direct means of voter suppression is voter intimidation, i.e., "show up at the polls and I'm going to shoot you" or having thugs standing around the polling place, ready to beat up anyone they don't want to vote.

The process of depriving people of the right to vote is called voter suppression. This can occur through various means, such as implementing strict voter ID laws, purging voter rolls, reducing polling places, or creating obstacles that make it difficult for certain groups to register or cast their ballots. Voter suppression disproportionately affects marginalized communities, undermining the democratic process and citizen participation.
A likely voter is a voter who is deemed "likely" to vote by a polling organizaiton. There are several major political polling organizations in the United States, including Gallup, Zogby, and Rassmussen. Each has its own unique way of determining if a particular voter is a "likely" to vote. Generally the voter must have voted in the previous election and express a strong inclination to vote in the upcoming election.
