What’s going on with the voting law Georgia passed?

[Djgb13 2,339]

I’ve been seeing where people are saying it’s “Jim Crow 2.0” but all I’ve really seen is that in order to vote absentee you need an ID. Of course, I could be missing a lot but that’s the gist of what I’ve read. And apparently some black dem lawmaker got arrested for trying to stop it 

[5-Points 3,399]

Blacks are too dumb to get an ID. Therefore, requiring an ID is plain old fashioned racism designed to disenfranchise dumb blacks. 

That's their claim. Now tell me who the true racists are.

I support voter I.D.  with that said, the I.D. should be free to get.  You cannot charge people money for something and then require it to vote.  I am against that, doesn't pass my amendment test.

If they're required by law they should be free. But the claim is that blacks are unable to procure ID. Not that they can't afford it but that they apparently don't know where the DMV is or can't figure out a way to get there. 

It's really insulting to blacks and I'm sure many of them see it that way but others will fall for the "racist right" mantra. And those are the ones the left targets with this tripe.

Biden is now saying they are going to look at it and have the justice department step in. Remind me again how just having someone show an ID is racist? Cause we aren’t asking just blacks to show ID. It’s for everyone. You literally need an ID to open a bank account. And I’m SURE all those blacks that’s get government assistance, stimulus checks, food stamps, etc ALL have their IDs and aren’t shy from showing them for that free money. So what’s the problem with showing it when you’re doing something that affects the welfare of everyone in the country?

I think republicans would be perfectly fine if MLB moved every single one of their teams out of red states.

Indians
Reds
Rays
Marlins
Cardinals
Royals
Rangers
Astros
 

Not a tear would be shed.

Michigan is set to pass new voter laws without democrat governor Whitmer having a say.  Not mentioned in all of this is that, when a state flips from one party to another, the state legislature will flip FIRST.  Despite a democrat in the governor's mansion, the state legislature is now fully GOP-controlled in the state and can enact new laws without her consent.  This is a prelude to the state permanently turning red.

https://www.newsmax.com/politics/michigan-gop-voting-bills/2021/03/26/id/1015350/?oRef=vuukle

Also note, even though the democrats won the state of Georgia, Georgia has a republican governor and the GOP controls both houses of its legislatures.  Its not blue at all.

Republicans control both houses of the state legislature in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas and Florida. 

The one rare state with a split state legislature is Minnesota.  But even that will be red soon.

Michigan will never have a none dem governor from here on out. They now know they can stuff all the ballots they want.

The Michigan gop is worthless they've done nothing while whitmer destroyed the state with her shut downs and mandates. 

Hell we are still locked down to this day.

Georgia HB 531 has a section that prohibits “any money or gifts, including, but not limited to, food and drink, to an elector.” Such giveaways will be banned within 150 feet of a building where people are voting, within any polling place or within 25 feet of any voter standing in line.

 

[Dizkneelande 1,086]

Seems reasonable. Why do people in line need water btw? Can’t they bring their own water? Also, it’s radical and racist to have to prove you have the right to vote before you vote? Leftism is a mental disorder.

[Hardcore troubadour 14,966]

The whole no food/water in line thing is about the homeless. It’s part of the bribe. See, people on the ground know what actually happens, not what the MS/Leftist media tells/doesn’t tell them.  The American people are completely ignorant of what goes on in the ghetto

Articles I've read say it's racist because voting lines in urban areas tend to be much longer and people can wait several hours sometimes so they need water. 

I kind of understand both sides of this. Are people really going to be swayed by a burger or a coke? I guess they could be swayed since most people don't even know who most of the people on the ballot are, especially at the local level.

I can also see the side that says it's a difficult and lengthy process to vote in urban areas and people should be able to provide services that help people stand the long lines. I do agree that I don't understand why they can't bring their own water, though.

Maybe a decent compromise would be that you can only provide these services as a neutral party and can't be affiliated with any candidate or party.

Why are the lines so long? I can’t find an honest answer to this other than it’s racist voter suppression which is ironic since the voting districts with the issues are controlled by Democrats.

I live in GA and it sure feels like it is moving blue.  All the people trying to get out of NY and Cal keep moving to Atlanta.  The Governor won a squeeker in back in 2018 by 1% over Abrams who everyone expects to win next time because of all the migration from blue states.   Pretty depressing.
