Republicans will keep suppressing Democratic voters

until Democrats start fighting back and doing the same.

My initial thought:
Are election expenses something that each voting precinct handles, or is that done at a statewide level? If statewide, how about Democrats start closing voting precincts in rural white areas - consolidation to save costs is the selling point - and make those rural white voters drive to a central county voting area and wait in line for hours to vote? if African American voters in Miami can stand in line all day - why not Ma and Pa Deplorable from East Bumfuck Beach in Florida?

Any other ideas?

by fighting to limit voting access. It won't work and it will make us look crummy.

and they keep repressing votes. Voter suppression played a role in 2016 in swinging 4-5 states to Trump - PA, MI, WI, FL and NC

I don't think the GOP will stop until Democrats start doing similar.
