the republican party cheats Americans out of their rights to vote so they can STEAL power from the people
On the surface it definitely seems like poor planning and poor timing on the county’s part. If they’ve known for six years that the polling stations aren’t in compliance and still conducted primaries this year at those locations then common sense would say to keep them open through these next elections and then close them. Try to take some reasonable steps to help people with disabilities and then shutter the doors after the election.

they are merely continuing the cheating of voters the republican party has done for decades
That's pretty much how things not in compliance with ADA regulations, etc. work.
No one is forcing them to do anything.
To be fair not all rural areas with tiny populations have polling stations. I can see why some of these stations aren’t needed but I think in this instance it’s just bad planning by officials.

Where is the surprise? Republicans are racist to the core.
Anyone who thinks 30% of black voters support Trump is a moron.

Sorry...I don't see "suppression" or "gutting" of voting rights...*‘if there's a problem with getting to the polls, or getting into the polls, get transportation for those people.
Why aren't the civil rights groups focusing on that?
They close and reopen polling places all the time. They just changed ours. actually to an area more convenient to the minority population. With the change, if anyone needed a ride to vote, all they had to do was call. Stop wasting energy complaining and help the people you are all so concerned about...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_New_Hampshire_Senate_election_phone_jamming_scandal
The 2002 New Hampshire Senate election phone jamming scandal involved the use of a telemarketing firm hired by that state's Republican Party (NHGOP) for election tampering. The tampering involved using a call center to jam the phone lines of a get out the vote (GOTV) operation. In the end, 900 calls were made for 45 minutes of disruption to the Democratic-leaning call centers.
During that state's 2002 election for the United States Senate seat being vacated by Republican Bob Smith, the NHGOP hired GOP Marketplace, based in northern Virginia, to jam another phone bank being used by the state Democratic Party and the firefighters' union for efforts to turn out voters on behalf of then-Governor of New Hampshire Jeanne Shaheen on Election Day. John E. Sununu, the Republican nominee, won a narrow victory. In addition to criminal prosecutions, disclosures in the case have come from a civil suit filed by the state's Democratic Party against the state's Republican Party (now settled).
Four men were convicted of, or pleaded guilty to, federal crimes and sentenced to prison for their involvement. One conviction was reversed by an appeals court, a decision prosecutors are appealing. James Tobin, freed on appeal, was later indicted on charges of lying to the FBI during the original investigation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dismissal_of_U.S._attorneys_controversy
n December 7, 2006, the George W. Bush administration's Department of Justice ordered the unprecedented[1] midterm dismissal of seven United States Attorneys. Congressional investigations focused on whether the Department of Justice and the White House were using the U.S. Attorney positions for political advantage. Allegations were that some of the attorneys were targeted for dismissal to impede investigations of Republican politicians or that some were targeted for their failure to initiate investigations that would damage Democratic politicians or hamper Democratic-leaning voters.[2][3] The U.S. attorneys were replaced with interim appointees, under provisions in the 2005 USA PATRIOT Act reauthorization.[4][5][6][7][8]
A subsequent report by the Justice Department Inspector General in October 2008 found that the process used to fire the first seven attorneys and two others dismissed around the same time was "arbitrary", "fundamentally flawed", and "raised doubts about the integrity of Department prosecution decisions".[9] In July 2010, the Department of Justice prosecutors closed the two-year investigation without filing charges after determining that the firing was inappropriately political, but not criminal, saying "Evidence did not demonstrate that any prosecutable criminal offense was committed with regard to the removal of David Iglesias. The investigative team also determined that the evidence did not warrant expanding the scope of the investigation beyond the removal of Iglesias."[10]

Implementation: The U.S. Attorney Removal List[edit]
In October 2006, George W. Bush told Alberto Gonzales that he had received complaints that some of the U.S. Attorneys had not pursued certain voter-fraud investigations. The complaints came from Republican officials, who demanded fraud investigations into a number of Democratic campaigns.[53]
According to Newsweek, "Kyle Sampson, Gonzales's chief of staff, developed the list of eight prosecutors to be fired last October—with input from the White House".[55]
On November 27, 2006, Gonzales met with senior advisers to discuss the plan.[56] The Justice Department did not receive White House approval for the firings until early December. As late as December 2, Sampson had written to Michael Elston that the Justice department was "till waiting for green light from White House" with regards to the firing. Deputy White House counsel William K. Kelley responded on December 4, 2006, saying, "We're a go for the U.S. Atty plan... [the White House office of legislative affairs], political, communications have signed off and acknowledged that we have to be committed to following through once the pressure comes."[57]
On December 7, 2006, Justice Department official Michael A. Battle informed seven U.S. Attorneys that they were being dismissed.[58]
Although seven attorneys were dismissed on December 7, 2006, subsequent disclosures show that three or more additional attorneys were dismissed under similar circumstances between 2005 and 2006.[59] U.S. Attorney Bud Cummins in Arkansas had been informed in June 2006 that he was to be replaced, and he resigned, effective December 20, 2006, several days after the public announcement of the appointment of his successor Timothy Griffin.[60]
