I have more faith in humanity that they can figure out a way wait in line to vote without dropping dead from thirst. So I'll ask again. Are you calling them lazy or stupid? It's one or the other to think that they can't figure out a way to stay hydrated for a few hours when water is AVAILABLE to them at the polling place. And you don't understand my thoughts regarding the pandemic. I'm saying we use a combination of science and mother nature. Had we done this and let the herd immunity take over we'd be closer to the end of this. Dragging it out as we have been by the lock downs is causing a much greater long term toll to the economy and human emotion. We are talking about a virus that has a survival rate of high 90%. If that's the science why are we prolonging the inevitable? The mortality rate of a disease is calculated by how many infected people die, not the general population. I discussed this earlier in the Covid thread; go read it. As for water, we’ll see how many polling places actually set up regular water stations for those having to stand in lines for hours. How much you want to bet it will be scarce? If this part of their law survives the courts I’ll be there to hand out water. Simple. Come join me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillStime Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Falcons owner Arthur Blank speaks out against Georgia voting restrictions Quote In a statement released Tuesday, Blank described the right to vote as "sacred" while calling "to make voting easier, not harder." "Every voice and every vote matters and should be heard through our democratic process in Georgia," Blank's statement reads. "The right to vote is simply sacred. We should be working to make voting easier, not harder for every eligible citizen. "To that end, AMBSE leadership, along with our nonprofit partners, conveyed that ideal directly to state officials in recent weeks. Our businesses and family foundation will continue to actively support efforts that advance voting access for the citizens of Georgia and across the nation." Delta reverses course, calling Georgia’s voting law ‘unacceptable.’ Quote “I need to make it crystal clear that the final bill is unacceptable and does not match Delta’s values,” he wrote in an internal memo. “The entire rationale for this bill was based on a lie: that there was widespread voter fraud in Georgia in the 2020 elections,” Mr. Bastian said. “This is simply not true. Unfortunately, that excuse is being used in states across the nation that are attempting to pass similar legislation to restrict voting rights.” After calls to boycott Coca-Cola, CEO says the company has always opposed new Georgia voting law Quote “We always opposed this legislation” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new chair would be nonpartisan but appointed by a majority of the state House and Senate. The chair would not be allowed to have been a candidate, participate in a political party organization or campaign or made campaign contributions for two years prior to being appointed. Do you want to argue that they'll bribe some independent to do their bidding? Perhaps, but read up on it so you're not tricked by partisan BS.

People that fly have money and are typically not like those poor dummies in the inner city that need handouts to stay properly hydrated.

I wondered about what you said about in your comment above about Republicans so i looked around and this is what i found . I also heard today on the Georgia voting thing (not that i made it a point to look into it) in the bill passed they actually expanded the amount of time for mail in voting to allow people more time to get their votes in the reason why people are complaining is because they want the people to have ID to prove they are who they are (which seems pretty reasonable) In the bill signed there they also set it up to only send out mail in voting to those who ask for the forms instead of just sending them out for no reason and those that do ask have proper ID to verify rather than just sending them without confirmation that the person actually asked for one . Seeing as you need ID to purchase liquor, to drive, to fly, to get married, to buy a home, to take out a loan, I don't see where this is a huge ask it seems to be more about voter integrity than voter suppression as some have called it . https://www.heritage.org/american-founders/report/america-republic-not-democracy https://act.represent.us/sign/democracy-republic/ https://www.va.gov/opa/publications/celebrate/pledge.pdf This one is good too incase you forgot how we said it in school the first is the original i guess and the second is the revised version ...

Well one thing your forgetting is if they pass laws like that one in Georgia you or i will never have to listen to someone say the election was stolen because there will be no way either side can say that . The way the world is now there are cheaters & Liars & they are on both sides of the isle weather you want to admit it or not . If given half a chance both would do what ever it took to win so i'm for it because then i will never have to listen to the BS ever again 🙌 If all's it takes is to have those people request a mail in ballad have the ID to prove they are a legal American voter and then given extra time to do so then so be it . If your that F N lazy that you can't get off your ass long enough to email, or snail mail, a request for a mail in voter's ballad & you are also to lazy to get off your ass to go get some kind of legal ID which you have 4 yrs between each election to do so & only have to do that once or every 10 yrs or so then you don't deserve to vote as far as i'm concerned . Given that train of thought then i shouldn't have to get a license to drive or show one if i get pulled over for breaking the law or prove i am of age when i buy alcohol, or prove who i am when i go to buy a gun (i know but the gun thing is different) or any thing else that requires a ID . Voting is one of the most important things we do as a American citizen and what ever it takes i want it to be right with no bitching by either side in the end that way there are no excuses what so ever & i won't have to listen to Trump say there was voter fraud or you B word about him bitching that there was no voter fraud so it's a win win 🙌. And just for S**TS & Giggles what did you get from the 3 links i posted in reference to your Republican saying were not a democracy remark ? Just wondering .

Well there you have it folks the proof is in the pudding as they use to say . Or - Stupid is as stupid does it - never ceases to amaze me !!
