Again, I disagree. Let me give you a different example to help you understand.
Let's talk guns. A gun can have a silencer on it. Another description for it is a noise suppressor. Noise is not completely eliminated but toned down or suppressed. Fits well within the definition of suppression or root word suppress.
Eliminate an avenue for voting, especially if you know a certain demographic uses it, and you have voter suppression. The intent is to lower the participation.
Eliminating a avenue that is not safe and secure is a good thing for our country and a win for all the legal votes.
suppression and suppressor are not synonymous
A silencer, also known as a sound suppressor, suppressor or sound moderator, is a muzzle device that reduces the acoustic intensity of the muzzle report and the recoil when a gun is discharged, by modulating the speed and pressure of the propellant gas from the muzzle and hence suppressing the muzzle blast.
One is absolute and the other isn’t

I'm not sure a state department has the authority over their state senate. Executive branch works for the people. Senate is part of the people.

It was never proven to be insecure.
suppression - is the act or instance of suppressing
suppressor - one that suppresses
Notice the common word, suppress.
In any case since you want to parse definitions, here's a couple for you.
Voter suppression is a strategy used to influence the outcome of an election by discouraging or preventing specific groups of people from voting.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_suppression
voter suppression, in U.S. history and politics, any legal or extralegal measure or strategy whose purpose or practical effect is to reduce voting, or registering to vote, by members of a targeted racial group, political party, or religious community.

I know and understand the definitions, you seem to be the one confused. You’re trying to compare a silencer or gun suppressor to voter suppression. Voter suppression can only happen if the voter can cast a vote. Getting rid of drop boxes doesn’t stop anyone from voting so there is no voter suppression no matter how many times you say different.
Meanwhile, rioters that pointed lasers into the eyes of police and blinding them are not charged nor convicted. But hey, that mean ol’ Trump sure had mean tweets.
Those blm rioters never once yelled anything about frying up pigs like bacon did they. That wasn’t inciting or threatening violence on police?
The hypocrisy is almost laughable. The left thinks the capitol rioters were evil incarnate, but blm rioters that actually burned and looted businesses and did actual harm to police; not for hours, but for days and months are not a problem at all.
As noted in the Bible, sure easy to spot the splinter in your neighbor’s eye and ignore the log in your eye.
