    This is so true, the attacks on the Georgia law were never and are not rational or reasonable.

    THE ONLY REASON THEY CHADNGED IT WAS BECAUSFE Biden won fthe Presidential race there and then they lost both GOP senators in the runoff election....... solution make it harder for citizens to vote and limit the turnout especially the black turnout.

    Except that the new law does nothing to limit anyone’s ability to vote. In fact it actually expanded voting opportunities for all Georgians.

    Please provide a list of the things of Georgia's revised voter law that factually makes it harder for citizens to vote and will decrease turnout.

    I'm sure there are a number of states that have been a little slow in improving their election laws to make voting easier. Georgia is catching hell because they're changing their election laws to make voting more difficult.

    What part of Georgia's recent changes to the election laws have made voting more difficult?

    Please be specific.

    The ID makes it more difficult for people to vote who have lost their documents such as social security, birth certificates etc... This is especially true for people who are homeless or suffered a house fire etc...

    Where does the law provide assistance for these individuals to obtain the documentation and proof necessary to acquire an ID?

    You're talking about a minuscule proportion of voters. People who apparently can't do anything else either - like obtain welfare, have a bank account, drive a car, own a phone, have utilities connected, order food, rent a home, access healthcare, etc etc.

    The weakest possible argument, IOW.

    So the only "issue" I can see when dealing with this hypothetical scenario would be someone being unable to afford the $25 fee required to get a replacement copy of their birth certificate which is then used to get replacement copies of everything else they've lost which can be replaced for free if you have a birth certificate. So if the law in Georgia specifically included provisions stating that if one is unable to afford the $25 birth certificate application fee then the fee would be waived by the State would that be sufficient?

    Now granted we have to admit we're talking about extreme outlying cases. Very rarely does someone completely lose or have destroyed every single piece of vital documentation and are literally unable to come up with $25 required to start the replacement process and they want to vote but now can't. I'm sure it's happened before but these are not common occurrences by any means. Using this methodology I can make the argument that ID requirements in general kill people as well. I'm sure at some point somewhere in America there was a person with a medical condition requiring daily medication. That person lost all of their documents in a house fire and was unable to afford to pay the $25 fee to get a replacement birth certificate which they needed to use to get their social security card back and ID etc. Due to the fact that every legal pharmacy in the country requires you to provide some form of ID to pick up your prescription medication this person was unable to get their medication and after a while they died. Has that EVER happened before? I'm sure something like that probably has. Does that happen often enough to where we need to have a genuine discussion about the morality of requiring ID to pick up prescription drugs at the pharmacy? No.

    Not so much. The Georgia SoS did a half assed audit, and in that "sampling" of ballots he found 35 cases of fraud any they are being prosecuted. Ironically, not surprisingly, the majority of the cases involve the New Georgia Project. Stacey Abrams & Raphael Warner ar both connected to that "project". Stacey Abrams illegal voter registration scheme triggered Georgia's voter ID law, and it should have.

    Nice conspiracy theory, got any facts to back it up?

    Trump lost the Georgia runoffs, not voting laws. Don't have Trump there spouting similarly retarded conspiracy theories and the GOP wins.

    You got two years to solve the issue. You think your voters are so damn dumb they can't manage? Or maybe it's just to expensive to create that may fake IDs and it leaves too much if a paper trail...

    I'll bet Coca-Cola, MLB all stars, et al wish they were as smart as you are. They wouldn't have pulled out of Georgia like they did. :)

    I don't need to. MLB and a hand full of large corporations should be 'specific' enough for you.

    If the truth were known I would bet MLB wishes they hadn't stepped in that huge pile of 'you know what'.

    It does. It shows how national organizations cave to the fear of being called racists. The democrat party's racism campaign is working very well, I would say.

    Thankfully for me I don't form my opinion of government legislation based on how the MLB reacts to it....

    I personally....ya know....read it myself. I've found this to be a much more responsible way of going about things. But that's just my humble opinion.

    The ONLY thing that is interesting is to see these Red States scrambling to change their election laws after the largest turn out in US history because of the rampant belief among one party that the "election was stolen" without being able to prove it. THAT is the only reality one needs to consider when evaluating the merit of these changes.

    Gutless cowards more likely. Eventually Republicans will figure out that they have to respond on kind when these corporations respond to woke ass idiots and these corps will figure out they need to get their asses out of politics.

    And, if Biden really won fairly, not of these new laws would have changed that. When the left BRAGS about the **** they pulled in a national magazine anyone who doesn’t have at least a little uncertainty about the election is hard corps stupid.
