Trump aide reveals 'three major voter suppression operations'

A senior adviser to Donald Trump's presidential campaign says the GOP nominee's operation has three "voter suppression" drives intended to lower the vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton and provide a path to victory for Trump.

The three efforts are mentioned by the senior adviser in an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek.

“We have three major voter suppression operations under way,” the unidentified senior official told Bloomberg.
The efforts are intended to cut down on votes by white liberals, young women and black voters, three blocs important for Clinton, the official said.

To suppress the vote by "idealistic" white liberals who might have been attracted to Sen. Bernie Sanders's (I-Vt.) campaign, the Trump official said the GOP nominee's campaign would highlight Clinton's support for the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.

Trump has also tied his campaign to women who have accused former President Bill Clinton of sexual assault to try to decrease turnout by young women, the official said.

Hillary Clinton has a huge edge among female voters, according to polls. Trump invited three women who have made accusations against Bill Clinton to the second presidential debate.

To try to lower black voter turnout, the senior official said the GOP nominee and his campaign were citing Hillary Clinton's 1996 comments referring to some young black criminals as "superpredators."

Bloomberg reported that Trump's campaign on Oct. 24 started placing spots on select African-American radio stations to highlight the superpredators remark.
