The bill adds voting machines and expands the amount of time people are allowed to vote. It doesn't eliminate no-excuse absentee voting, it just changes the verification from signature to the number on your driver's license or the last 4 digits of your ss#.
B-B-But listen to @Nautiknight, there's a sense out there that's there's something wrong so there MUST be something to it, right? It couldn't be because Trump whined endlessly about it.
There's a special brand of irony in defending the demotion of the election role of Georgia's Secretary of State because it's constitutional.

The constitution gives the power to decide the when and hows of voting to a state’s legislature. Secretary of State is not an elected position and shouldn’t have any say over voting. The guy in Georgia settled lawsuits last year that he had no right to. The move makes sense. There is no irony. Bureaucrats should not be involved in that process.B-B-But listen to @Nautiknight, there's a sense out there that's there's something wrong so there MUST be something to it, right?

Heh. You’re right. Well then it is a strange change, unless it isn’t considered a position within the legislature. I thought it was appointed in GA. I like to prove myself a dummy on the internet. Keeps it fresh.
I dont think it's strange at all. It makes sense to not have a guy in an elected office at the head of the election board. It's an unnecessary conflict of interest.
One of the more laughable complaints about this bill is that it requires election officials only to be part of the chain of custody on drop boxes. Why would anybody think that's a bad thing?
Shuckster doesn't even know why he's against this bill, but he is and it must be because of Trump. We've also got FC mad about the fact that Georgia is making it easier for black people to vote but campaigns can't hand out water, so racism.
160 Million people voted. Can you show me even 160 instances of fraud? That would be 0.0001% fraud. The fraud we see is so irrelevant to the outcome that a little rain is probably 1000x more impactful to the election and turnout.
Georgia already requires ID for voting in person. Now they just require it for voting by mail. What's the big deal?
Trump did better with black voters in 2020 than he did in 2016. He lost because his numbers with white voters were worse than 2016.
Yes he sure did. Only 90% of the Black vote went to Biden in 2020 compared to 92% for Hillary in 2016.
The only people who will be “suppressed” by these bills are people who can’t seem to find any time to cast a ballot during a 3 week early voting period, or don’t have any state issued ID and refuse to fill out ID verification paperwork.
Because security is more important than convenience. Especially when we’re still talking about nothing more than proving you are an eligible voter and making it more difficult to pull off fraud.
I’ve already stated my opinion on IDs, but if you want people to buy your message, suggesting its in response to massive voter fraud is NOT the way to go about it.
It's not my burden to justify why this bill is acceptable, it's the burden of those that oppose it to say why. If the reason is that it's suppression, this guy needs to state why he requires ID to fly on his planes and how that isn't a form of suppression. We are guaranteed the right of freedom of travel in the US, so he himself is guilty of what he's mad about.
Whoa, I didn't know that. Those damn airlines expect me to pay THEM money in order to travel by air.
