Remember when republicans urged companies had freedom of speech and democrats want them out of politics!!!
 

More Hypocrisy, it’s amazing how both parties can wholesale flip positions on a coin toss.

The Conservative Clergy of Color, a group of Black ministers and pastors, announced Monday it published a full-page ad in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution to address the “lies” being told by President Joe Biden and Stacey Abrams (D) about the Georgia Election Integrity Act of 2021.

 

The advertisement, which features a photo of both of the prominent Democrats, specifically calls out Biden and Abrams for their messaging about the new law, describing their agenda as “devastating” to minority-owned small businesses in Atlanta, amid Major League Baseball’s decision to pull out of the city due to Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp’s signing the election integrity bill into law.

 

The advertisement features two columns, one of “lies” and one of “truth,” with the truth column dispelling Biden and Abrams’ claims:

LIE: The new law restricts early voting. TRUTH: The law expands early voting hours and additional weekend voting opportunities, including Sundays.

LIE: Voter ID requirements are racially discriminatory. TRUTH: IDs are necessary for numerous everyday activities, and the law even lets voters use documents like utility bills instead of state-issued IDs.

LIE: Restrictions on distributing food and water to voters are intended to make voting more uncomfortable for minority voters. TRUTH: The law only prohibits using free food and beverages as a form of electioneering.

LIE: The new law eliminates absentee ballot drop boxes. TRUTH: Drop boxes never existed before the pandemic. The new law creates rules to keep them—and the ballots inside—secure.

LIE: The new law allows “takeovers” of local election administration. TRUTH: The law protects voters when local officials fail to prevent excessive lines or struggle to process absentee ballots.

“There’s nothing ‘racist’ about the Election Integrity Act, and it’s certainly not ‘Jim Crow 2.0,'” the ad stated. “Your lies are now devastating minority small businesses in Atlanta following the MLB’s decision to move its All-Star Game to Denver, resulting in a loss of $100 million in business. Enough is enough.”

Nonsense -

 

These clergymen need to renounce their supremacist ways and stop speaking from a position of privilege ! 
 

They do not understand what it’s like to be oppressed.

Yup, they are certainly showing their “whiteness” by sticking up for minority businesses...😉

Good work Will.

 

Voting in Louisiana - Ballotpedia

https://ballotpedia.org/Voting_in_Louisiana

 

THE BASICS

Louisiana permits online voter registration.

Louisiana permits early voting. The state does not, however, allow no-excuse absentee voting.

Voters in Louisiana are required to present valid photo identification at the polls.

 

 

Hilarious.

I still haven’t heard what makes this Bill racist. You’re like a little kid throwing a tantrum and when asked what wrong the kid, through the tears whimpers, “I.....don’t.....know”.

Yeah I know it sucks to be proven wrong day in and day out. One way to fix it is to  stop being wrong. 
 

The Bill is NOT racist and you know it but you’re so deep in this false narrative you have to keep digging.

Oh look a dumb meme. Lose an argument post a meme. See most people when they feel passionate about something (like this Bill not being racist) they debate and discuss. When someone is losing a debate they pose nonsensical things like memes.

Why didn’t they reinstate some

of the 214 closed voting sites Jim?

Because they were closed?  What’s your point?

 


Oh Jim - that’s weak. You can do better - you self acclaim to be winning this battle right Jim?

 

If the GQP is going to add water and food distribution limitations at voting sites because people have to wait in line for 9 hours - why not reopen some of the 214 sites that were closed to help alleviate this issue?

 

Why wouldn’t the GQP address that Jim?

 

Could it be because they are RACIST?

It could be a million reasons but you go with racism because that’s your reason for everything.  
 

Let me ask you. Do you even know if any of those 214 sites that were closed where anywhere near the polling places that had long lines?

I have. Why I asked you. Let me be more specific. If every one of those 214 polling sites had been reopened how short would those lines you’re so concerned about have been?


Jim - is Georgia’s population growing? How many companies are moving to the Atlanta metro?

 

Why would a growing state close voting sites?
