Getting elected in a virtual dictatorship

It's not a new finding, or secret knowledge of any sort, but one party and its supporters feel that there is a visibly-evident demographic shift against them. 

One political analyst even puts the theory forward (link below) that there is no body of voters that shifts its weight from one candidate to another, but that the population knows who they are going to vote for.  The difference is respective voter turn out on both sides.


This makes perfect sense why voter suppression and disenfranchisement is so actively pursued by one party over another.  It makes winning feasible against a demographic shift.
