Comparing Georgia's laws to that ...0_0, et al,<br /><br />Comparing Georgia's laws to that of other states is a false equivalence. It is, simply, irrelevant.<br /><br />What matters is this: Republicans in most states are tightening up voter rules because, and only because, they want to make it harder for <i>those people</i> to vote. They are changing the laws in response to Trump's bullshit lies about massive voter fraud.<br /><br />Ask yourself this: If Trump had won all of those states, in a landslide, would there be any interest in changing the voter laws? <br /><br />I submit that the answer is obvious: No.<br /><br />The GPOofQ's moves to make voting harder is to protect their status as a minority party that can win elections by the only way possible: Make it difficult for everyone else to vote.<br /><br />In a nutshell: It's nothing other than racism. Calling the new laws in Georgia and elsewhere "Jim Crow 2.0" is right on the money.Comrade Misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404477636451308763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-31167880700528003532021-04-07T11:31:23.521-04:002021-04-07T11:31:23.521-04:00Uhm, *, Pete said...

Also, without it, a provisional ballot is still available.<br /><br /><br />https://ballotpedia.org/Voter_ID_in_Colorado<br /><br />In Georgia, the new law requires photo ID, and uses Drivers License matching instead of signatures, which is the traditional way of verifying a ballot and preventing voter fraud.<br /><br /><br />2021<br />On March 25, 2021, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R) signed SB202 into law, enacting a series of changes to the state's election administration procedures, including (but not limited to) the following:[16]<br /><br />Absentee/mail-in voting:<br />Absentee/mail-in ballots verified on the basis of driver's license numbers instead of voter signatures.<br />Ballot drop boxes made available only inside early voting locations during business hours.<br />Ballot application deadline fixed at 11 days before Election Day.<br />Early voting<br />For general elections, counties required to offer early voting on two Saturdays; counties authorized, but not required, to offer early voting on two Sundays.<br />For runoff elections, early voting period limited to a minimum of one week.<br />Other election administration matters:<br />State Election Board authorized to remove county election boards and replace them with interim election managers.<br />Counties required to certify election results within six days instead of 10.<br />The full text of the enacted bill can be accessed here.<br /><br />In its original form, SB202 would have barred persons and entities from sending unsolicited absentee/mail-in ballot applications to voters who had already requested, been issued, or voted an absentee/mail-in ballot. On March 25, 2021, the Georgia House of Representatives approved an amended version of the bill (which included the aforementioned changes) by a vote of 74. Later that day, the Georgia State Senate concurred in the House amendments by a vote of 34-20. Both the House and Senate votes split along party lines, with Republicans voting in favor of the bill and Democrats voting against it.[16][23]<br /><br />Upon signing the bill into law, Kemp said, "After the November election last year, I knew like so many of you that significant reforms to our state elections were needed. When voting in person in the state of Georgia, you must have a photo ID. It only makes sense for the same standard to apply to absentee ballots as well."[24]<br /><br />https://ballotpedia.org/Voting_in_Georgia#Noteworthy_events<br /><br />You really should research what you “know”, B, because you have a history here of asserting “facts” that later on turn out not to be true,<br /><br />As in the present case.
