Analysis: Georgia's new law suppressing the vote is a victory for Trump

Former President Donald Trump's campaign of lies about a stolen election just delivered a huge victory with a new Georgia law that could suppress the votes of many of the citizens who helped eject him from the White House.

I can think of few things that are simultaneously so un-American yet also so uniquely American.

Please explain, in your own words, this law for us from your perspective and explain for us how you believe it suppresses votes. Thanks.

 

[hal9000]

You can read the bill for yourself.


Also, the GOP has handed up a campaign platform issue on a silver platter to the DNC.

 

[GromsDad]

So basically you created a thread with absolutely no clue about the issue. Just saw a story that you probably didn't even read and posted it up. Such a dumb troll.

The only way the reublican right can win is to make it harder for people to vote. Sad.

Repubplicans are trying to destroy democracy after realizing they are in the minority in this country.

What does it tell us about your party’s platform and views on democracy if it wants less people to vote to bolster its chances of winning? Simply put this is about minority rule.

Plus it all based on the words/feelz of a proven liar whose lawyer admitted it was all BS.

Republicans have never accepted that Blacks have the right to vote, simple as that.

Horribly written article. I had to scan through almost halfway through past a dozen+ paragraphs to get to the actual meat and potatoes that explains exactly how this law affects voting:

"The new law in Georgia requires more stringent voter verification requirements for absentee ballots, allows state officials to take over election boards and limits ballot drop boxes that make it easier for people to vote. The law allows any Georgian to make unlimited challenges to voter registrations, and, incredibly, makes it a misdemeanor crime for anyone to offer food and water to voters stuck in long lines to cast ballots."

For the record, I think the law is BS, but shouldn't that paragraph be maybe the first thru third instead of halfway through? This shows how crap journalism has become.

Well, you need to have your emotions triggered first before getting the facts.

On the bright side, at least it wasn't a bunch of tweets "clapping back".

I feel bad for the people thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail. All of the trail angels will clearly be fined.

 

[hal9000]

GA just wants to make it easier to buy a gun than to vote.


They also completely rat-fvcked the office of Secretary of State.

Can‘t wait to see the legal challenges and scotus case.



Also, @grapedrink is right, I should have linked a different article and should stay away from CNN.

Georgia Governor Signs Election Overhaul, Including Changes To Absentee Voting

The law will make dramatic alterations to Georgia's absentee voting rules, adding new identification requirements, moving back the request deadline and other changes.

The Republicans in control at the state level basically looked at all the ways they lost in 2020 and then made changes. No more SoS deciding not to look for any more “fraud” they’ll just have the party in control appoint a chair of the election board who will comply.

Georgia governor signs sweeping election regulations into law. There are even restrictions on snacks.

Georgia is one of the first states to have passed major voting restrictions after last year's election, and Republican legislators around the country are advancing similar measures.

I’m envisioning a 2021 Dukes of Hazard reboot where they transport bootleg water and snacks to people in line to vote. The General will need a makeover though.

Hal obviously didn't read far enough to get to the facts before he started this thread. He still can't explain in his own words what this legislation says or what the harm will be.
