    No, I'm pretty sure you don't "got it"

    I was sarcastically parroting the idiocy of that Stalin post... Neither party holds absolute power, or else we could do away with elections...

    But the majority should eventually win every vote taken in the Senate and the House... that was the intended structure of those organizations...

    OK so your Stalin-like grab for power was just sarcasm.

    We'll see.

    The only thing I'm grabbing is a bowl of chili in about 15 minutes...

    Your lack of understanding of the purpose and goals off HR1/S1 tells me everything I need to know...

    Since this thread is about conspiracy theories about getting T****'s fat ass back in the WH, bringing up excellent voting rights bills qualified, but I rolled with it anyway...

    It's what happens on PF.com...

    So you don't think Republicans will ever win elections again unless they are allowed to keep people from voting...

    You may be right.

    You're the one supporting these people.

    I am more than happy to expose Trump's followers any day.

    You do spread their gospel. You just haven't figured out yet that it's theirs. My job is to make as many of you as I can aware of this.

    It might not keep you from spreading their conspiracy theories, but at least you'll know.

    LOL You work tirelessly on the Q's behalf. It's what you do. And like this thread, you post their musings as if you truly believe.

    Oh no! The "I'm rubber, you're glue" argument. How ever shall I respond to such brilliant rhetorical syllogism? It's a question I have been asking myself since kindergarten.

    That is a partisan hack opinion piece that provides nothing empirical other than opinionated garbage. Atlanta is now offering free ID's for voters and they actually expanded drop boxes, early voting days and weekends. Their voting laws are MORE liberal than that of Colorado to which the all star game was shifted too...... That's the irony of this who debacle as it's purely political.

    Even your liberal WaPo calls these claims bogus yet you continue to regurgitate this nonsensical diatribe.

    Biden falsely claims the new Georgia law ‘ends voting hours early’

    No, physically attacking a 7 year old. Greta is merely a puppet and voice for the progressive left but I'm fairly sure Trump never physically attacked her. Post if you have new information, however.


    Or


    Or



    And the left gave death threats to Nicholas Sandman and defamed his character after a ridiculous hit pieces which was later proven in court.

    Those are links to quotes directly from the law. And your response clearly indicates that you have no rational arguments to rebut the fact that they are, in fact, measures that will make voting more difficult. So my job is done...

    Thanks for playing.

    You have hit on something very interesting to us chili-lovers -- VINEGAR! I'm going to try adding maybe a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to my next bowl of red and see how that goes. I always use a fair amount of cumin in my chili, but I have never used vinegar before. Thanks for the idea.

    Now, I'll give you one -- if you make your chili with beans, try using "Anasazi Beans" instead of regular pinto beans.
    Link: https://www.finecooking.com/ingredient/anasazi-beans

    Now, as far as all this nonsense about Georgia's new law to guarantee legality and truth in voter registration, I just don't buy the radical Democrat claims that this prevents anybody from voting. That's simply not (NOT) true! People have to prove who they are to get on government welfare programs -- so, shouldn't they have to prove who they are in order to vote...?

    First, it's behind a pay wall... Secondly, are you literally trying to say that the law states "Voters will now have less time to request absentee ballots." or is that the NYT's gaslighting the actual text as voters still have 77 days to request an absentee ballot ?

    Regarding "There are strict new ID requirements for absentee ballots.", as mentioned prior, Atlanta offers FREE state ID's so everyone can vote but allows for election protections to ensure legitimate people are voting!

    "It’s now illegal for election officials to mail out absentee ballot applications to all voters." because it only mails in ballots to registered voters.

    "Drop boxes still exist … but barely." Actually, per the new law, there will be MORE drop boxes than per-pandemic numbers.
    The law states:


    A board of registrars or absentee ballot clerk shall establish at least one drop box as a means for absentee by mail electors to deliver their ballots to the board of registrars or absentee ballot clerk.

    A board of registrars or absentee ballot clerk may establish additional drop boxes, subject to the limitations of this Code section, but may only establish additional drop boxes totaling the lesser of either one drop box for every 100,000 active registered voters in the county or the number of advance voting locations in the county. Any additional drop boxes shall be evenly geographically distributed by population in the county.

    "Mobile voting centers (think an R.V. where you can vote) are essentially banned." And this an issue how?

    "Early voting is expanded in a lot of small counties, but probably not in more populous ones." Speculative much :roflol:

    "
    Offering food or water to voters waiting in line now risks misdemeanor charges." This is a blatant exaggeration as poll workers can absolutely give food and water without reprisal and people can grab water and food 25' outside of the line. Just like nearly ALL states have.

    "If you go to the wrong polling place, it will be (even) harder to vote."
    There is, however, one provision of the law where the 5 p.m. time is important. If a voter shows up at the wrong polling place on Election Day, that voter cannot successfully vote unless it's after 5 p.m. and they sign an affidavit affirming they are unable to get to their correct polling place in time. They can still vote and signing an affidavit is not "even" harder!

    "If election problems arise, a common occurrence, it is now more difficult to extend voting hours." Again, hyperbole..

    "With a mix of changes to vote-counting, high-turnout elections will probably mean a long wait for results." The 2020 election had massive waits so what is the issue here and how is this preventing people from voting?

    "Election officials can no longer accept third-party funding (a measure that nods to right-wing conspiracy theories)." Love the Ad Hom by the NYT. This law actually IMPROVES election integrity which prevents undue and corrupt influence by powerful interest groups and individuals. The law creates a voter fraud hotline in the state attorney general's office and empowers ordinary citizens to report potential violations of the law.

    "With an eye toward voter fraud, the state attorney general will manage an election hotline." Again, this is bad how?

    The rest, again, has what to do with voter suppression? Rather than rely on a liberal rag to give your argument, why don't you just specifically state where Georgia is suppressing voters!

    This is more what I had in mind and where I got the idea

    https://hardtimeschili.com/product/...egar was a traditional,at the Hard Times Café.

    But since the Hard Times near me closed (before COVID, but talk about Hard Times!!) and I found a copycat recipe anyway, this is what I do..

    2 cups of white vinegar.... bring to near boil, then take off heat.... Add 1 tablespoon of red pepper flakes.... Stir in and let steep for 15 mins... We pour it in an old carafe with a tiny opening for controlled drizzling on the chili while still getting out most of the pepper flakes... lasts forever unrefrigerated...

    Those are some funky looking beans... never seen those in our main stores, but I'll check next time...

    Also, I do enjoy a few periodic (tiny) shots of apple cider vinegar (with the "Mother") for gut health, but not on the chili..

    All you need to do is ask. Another thing you need to do is acknowledge you are wrong when you're wrong.

    Instead of 180 that they had before the law.

    Page 38: Not m̶o̶r̶e̶ earlier than 1̶8̶0̶ 78 days or less than 11 days prior to the date of the primary or election, or runoff of either, in which the elector desires to vote, any absentee elector may make, either by mail, by facsimile transmission, by electronic transmission, or in person in the registrar’s or absentee ballot clerk’s office, an application for an official ballot of the elector’s precinct to be voted at such primary, election, or runoff.​


    Which solves a problem that doesn't exist. BTW, not requiring ID is also free.

    There will be more in counties that favor Republicans. But in Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb and Gwinnett, the counties that are the core Atlanta metropolitan area, this reduces the number from 94 in 2020 to a maximum of 23.

    Atlanta used RVs as mobile polling places to bring to parks, churches, libraries, ... Reducing the number of voting places in Democratic areas is the whole purpose of this bill

    Speculate? You think that using the word "probably" means they are speculating? Wrong!

    Early voting starts earlier, but is reduced to cover only weekdays at the times when people who work regular business hours are working. What speculation are you seeing there? Obviously we don't know if this attempt at voter supression will work. But it's clearly something that targets middle class office workers who work 9 to 5.

    You're not getting the point. I will assume that it's not on purpose, but that you are simply not understanding it. All these measures are meant to dissuade Democratic voters from voting. There are no "exaggerations"... it's an accumulation of things to make it harder to vote SPECIFICALLY in those places that Democrats won.

    It's disgusting!

    I'll skip over the points in which you ignore (whether purposefully or not) the above fact.

    ONLY if it's between 5 and 7 p.m. and on the day previous to the election.

    Page 74: The poll officials shall also inform such person that any votes cast by a provisional ballot in the wrong precinct will not be counted unless it is cast after 5 p.m. and before the regular time for the closing of the polls on the day of the primary, election, or runoff and unless the person executes a sworn statement, witnessed by the poll official, stating that he or she is unable to vote at his or her correct polling place prior to the closing of the polls and giving the reason therefor.​

    Who said that it is? The problem with this is that it gives Trump supporters more time to spout falsehoods of the type they spread in 2020, and delay certification in case Trump or a Trump-like candidate decides to steal the state even when they lose.

    This article is not just about voter suppression, but about the many problems the law has. This is another one of them. So are the rest you comment on. They are simply a "nod" to Trump false conspiracy theories.

    Voter suppression is the main objective of this bill. But not the only problem it creates.
