    Early voting is one of the best things invented for voter liberation. In states with early voting you can select the day you vote and not be burdened by weather or a work schedule or unforeseen events like illness.

    So is it any surprise that one state that has no early voting is Delaware?

    He's full of excrement. He just wants foreigners and dead people to be able to vote.

    Chucky Schumer was full of ca ca when he talked about Sunday voting so of course Golem repeated the lie.

    https://www.wral.com/fact-check-schumer-wrong-about-sunday-voting-in-georgia/19611486/

    The Georgia law requires that among the 17 days of early voting 2 Saturdays be included. I know you libos think blacks are really dumb but with 17 days of early voting I think they can find the opportunity to go vote for your racist heroes on one of those days.

    As for blacks voting after church? You libos want to eliminate people's right to go to church in the first place.

    I know he's "full of excrement". I've watched his posts for a while.
    I fully believe he's a paid shill poster.
    I disagree with the dead people and foreigners comment though.
    That's not what he wants. He wants liberal democrats in total and complete power; and we peons made to do their bidding. (However that can be accomplished). He and Bowerbird flock together.....

    If predominantly white evangelical churches organized a voting drive like I understand the black churches do in Atlanta, the dems would be picketing if front of the Supreme Court.

    You are saying that the Republican Party in Georgia is conspiring to suppress the minority vote. That's a conspiracy THEORY!

    In a previous thread, you seemed to make out that Democrats do some voter suppression too.

    How do you know that minorities are the majority of these 11,200 people?

    You don't seem to know the meaning of the word 'conspire.' HINT: It has nothing to do with multiple parties.

    Then you should be able to cite a definition which agrees with you!

    Even if it was perfectly in line with the population break down, 43.8% of those 11,200 people are white! Yeah, that sounds like a REALLY white supremacist policy to me! :roflol:

    It's quite hilarious that you think you have proven a DAMN thing! :roflol:

    Any moderately competent English speaker understands the meaning of the word "conspiracy" in this context. Given that YOU obviously don't, that's for you to do the research. Read my sig! I will not do your research for you

    No idea what you're talking about. Admit like you promised, or don't ever ask me for evidence of anything again. I'm not going to bother.

    Your claim is that abolishing movable facilities specifically targets minorities. You have yet to support that claim. All you have so far is that there are slightly more minorities than whites in Atlanta. My point is that abolishing movable facilities will also affect the 43.8% of the population which is white.

    It's quite hilarious that you think you have proven a DAMN thing! :roflol:

    What's even MORE funny is that you will cut this out from your reply just like you did in your last reply, and that's if you reply AT ALL! :roflol:

    Well what are you saying the context is exactly? Here's one definition: a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful. Now, you're accusing the Georgia Republicans of having a secret plan to suppress the minority vote, which harms minorities. If you had a definition of "conspiracy" which supports your point, then you would already have provided it!

    I don't think so. But it doesn't matter because, even following your flawed "logic", 56.2% IS the majority.

    So admit it! Like you promised.

    Clearly that's not the definition behind the idiom "Conspiracy Theory".

    The problem with the “no” argument here is that it mistakes both the nature and the operation of Jim Crow voting laws. There was no statute that said, “Black people cannot vote.” Instead, Southern lawmakers spun a web of restrictions and regulations meant to catch most Blacks (as well as many whites) and keep them out of the electorate. It is true that the “yes” argument of President Biden and other Democrats overstates similarities and greatly understates key differences — chief among them the violence that undergirded the Jim Crow racial order. But the “no” argument of conservatives and Republicans asks us to ignore context and extend good faith to lawmakers who overhauled their state’s election laws because their party lost an election.

    To which a simple recitation of the facts provides a crushing response.
    ". . . “At service stations, there were white-men-only restrooms, white-women-only restrooms, and a filthy restroom in the back of the restroom for black Americans designated as ‘colored.’ In addition, Jim Crow laws like poll tax, property tests, literacy tests, and biased intimidation at the polls made it nearly impossible for black Americans to vote,” Owens said.

    He then turned to the Georgia law, which President Joe Biden called “Jim Crow on steroids.”

    “The section of the Georgia law that has brought so much outrage from the Left simply requires any person applying for an absentee ballot to include evidence of a government-issued ID on their application,” Owens explained. “If a voter does not have a driver’s license or ID card, that voter can use a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck or any other government document that shows a name and address of this voter. If a voter somehow cannot produce one of these above forms of ID, that voter can still vote and cast a vote through a provisional ballot.”
    “By the way, 97 percent of Georgia voters already have a government-issued ID,” he added.

    Owens explained that Democrats do not do black people a favor by suggesting these laws target black voters.

    “What I find extremely offensive is the narrative from the Left that black people are not smart enough, not educated enough, not desirous enough of education to do what every other culture and race does in this country, get an ID,” Owens declared.

    “True racism is this: It’s a projection of the Democratic Party on my proud race. It’s called the soft bigotry of low expectations,” he explained. . . . "

    No question the rhetoric comparing the new voter restrictions to "Jim Crow on steroids” is hyperbolic. That shouldn't obscure the true intent behind the law. It's a shame Owens, who has been advantaged by the athletic talent and intelligence which afforded him the opportunity for wealth, has chosen to turn his back on the less fortunate members of the black community by siding with bigots.

    After an election in which 1.3 million Georgians used absentee ballots — and nearly two-thirds of them voted for Biden — the Republican-led government has now cut by more than half the period during which absentee voters can request a ballot, to less than three months from six months. It has also instituted a strict new ID requirement for absentee ballots, adding steps for voters that would invalidate their votes if done incorrectly.

    The new law requires each county to provide drop boxes for absentee ballots, but limits their location and the hours when they are available, as well as the number the most populous counties can have. This increases access for largely Republican-voting rural counties and decreases it for the state’s Democratic urban centers.

    The Repub lead GA legislature could not be as overt as their predecessors but their purpose is clear.

    Sorry, but you don't get to debate against a creation of your own making. The GA legislature does not have to answer for your assumptions.
    ". . . Earlier this month, Georgia State Rep. Wes Cantrell pointed out that Georgia’s voting laws are far more relaxed than the laws in Biden’s home state of Delaware. . . . "
