I think it is fairly easy to define:
a process of targeting voters by district or precinct by a political party or private individual/organization in an attempt to verify eligibility in advance of an election
admittedly, it would be difficult to prove an intent to suppress a selective group of potential voters
If a city/county/state (or an independent agent for the government) wants to conduct a city- or state-wide review of voter eligibility by confirming residency....that is an appropriate role for government...and it is not selective....assuming the government would provide an opportunity to respond in advance of an election for those whose eligibility might be questioned.
