You can sugar coat your answer all you want but this "law" screams Jim Crow and targeted towards those who have to wait in extremely long lines just to vote - and you know it. Extremely long lines are exclusive to POC? Explain why you think that is. Did you miss the part about polling places that had extremely long lines are REQUIRED, going forward, to hire more staff? What are your thoughts about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you be ok if the NRA showed up and handed out sandwiches and bottled water to people in line? How about it they gave out t-shirts, hats, $20 bills? Would you be good with that? You do know that is what that part of the Bill states. Also you do know that the Bill states in polling places where wait times exceeded one hour are now REQUIRED to hire more staff? ** (a) No person shall solicit votes in any manner or by any means or method, nor shall any person distribute or display any campaign material, nor shall any person give, offer to give, or participate in the giving of any money or gifts, including, but not limited to, food and drink, Please explain what is wrong with this. Reduces undue influence of voters in line. Why the hell is this so hard for you all to get. It's not about WATER. It's about influencing votes. Good lord!! So ok. I'm going down to ATL during the midterms. Brining all my Trumpers and NRA and Right to Lifer friends and were handing out all sorts of *****. I'll just point at you guys and say "hey, they told me it was cool." Can you imagine handing money out to prospective voters? Now, who would do that? Trump allies are handing out cash to black voters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my answer about giving compensation, i..e. bribing, on line, that is illegal in all states is NOT about election security ? really? I mean you could try and argue the point like a normal poster, but to hilariously proclaim that it makes your point !! You are sad and lost.

Not unlike: None of the measures outlined in the bill actually improve election security. And frankly, the measure that allows state officials to take over local election boards should make ALL OF US much less secure about the integrity of Georgia's elections. (Funny, neither you nor @Chef Jim would comment on that, why?) This bill is intended to remove election security and pave the way for Republicans in Georgia state government to continue their long tradition of disenfranchisement of voters. That's the only reason why you're turning yourself inside out to defend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you would have read the parts that Establishing a voter intimidation and illegal activities hotline? Provide that no election superintendents or boards of registrars shall accept private funding? Provide for notice when polling places are relocated Provide sanctions for improperly opening an absentee ballot Provide for poll watcher training Provide for restrictions on the distribution of certain items within close proximity to the polls on election day Provide for duplication panels for defective ballots that cannot be processed by tabulating machines Provide for the deadline for election certification Provide for public notice and observation of preparation of voting equipment Provide for observation of elections and ballot processing and counting Prohibit observing or attempting to observe how a voter marks or has marked his or her ballot or inducing a voter to do so Prohibit the photographing or other recording of ballots and ballot markers But you and yours focus on water. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah.... you left out the most important parts of the law, Jim - WHY IS THAT? The law removes the ELECTED Secretary of State as head of the state Elections Commission and replaces him/her with an APPOINTEE of the (Republican) legislature. Eliminating a check/balance needed to ensure a democracy. The law also allows the state Elections Commission to take over any jurisdiction's ballot counting. This is aimed at the Democratic strongholds of Fulton and DeKalb Counties. Another check gone. And while we are rewriting laws - why wouldn't they make it a crime to force people to wait in long lines to exercise their right to vote? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a Bills fan would think they’re winning this argument Who’s forcing anyone to do anything? 😂 Who gets arrested for “forcing” these people to wait in lines? Oh wait wait I know. ....TRUMP!! Oh and the Bill REQUIRES polling places to hire additional staff and if they’ve had wait times of an hour or more. You look thirsty. How about a niiiiice cooool glass of water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new Georgia law strips the Secretary of State of power and gives the legislature the right NOT to certify results they don't like. The legislature can also remove a county board if it feels they didn't rule properly on challenges. Why was this put in place? Can you tell me what the issues were in 2020 with Raffensperger - other than the fact he rebuffed Trump, Lindsay and the rest of the GQP to find those 11,000 votes?
