Republican Voter Suppression Efforts

Proving it again. The REASON there is LESS early IN PERSON voting is that 100% of CO voters get MAIL IN BALLOTS.

"Through Monday afternoon, the latest figures available, 2.76 million voters had already cast a ballot, meaning Colorado will almost certainly eclipse the 2.86 million total votes cast in the presidential election four years ago."

Over 95% of the total of Coloradans who voted in 2016 had their ballots IN BEFORE election- EARLY VOTED BY MAIL. They don't NEED polling places open.

Your premise is as dishonest as you normally are. If you would be 10,000% smarter than you are, you'd be 1% as smart as you think you are.

I hope it's not sunny where you are today or might need a banky if you see your shadow.

You can get one in Georgia, too. All you have to do is ask. So I will ask again, is that too high a bar or not?

This is your tantrum. You have the burden of proof here.

Why would their be a bar to vote?
 
the right to vote guaranteed in the Consitution: Republicans want to make all kinds of laws changing access and procedures

the right to bear arms guaranteed in the Constitution: Republicans will do literally anything to make sure no new gun-related laws are passed
 
Because they fear the right to vote and they can’t effectively fight with the right to vote.

There you go trying to change the goalposts again. You are totally dishonest, but we all knew that.

"The drop boxes also must be kept inside and only accessible during the hours of early voting.

The New York Times estimated that the law’s provisions would give the four counties in metropolitan Atlanta 23 drop boxes, while those counties had 94 available in the 2020 election."

"SB 202, March 25: (a) No person shall solicit votes in any manner or by any means or method, nor shall any person distribute or display any campaign material, nor shall any person give, offer to give, or participate in the giving of any money or gifts, including, but not limited to, food and drink, to an elector, "

This is outrageous: "The final deadline to complete an application is moved earlier, too. Instead of returning an application by the Friday before election day, SB 202 now backs it up to two Fridays before."

"If you live in Fulton County, you'll no longer be able to use one of two mobile voting buses the county purchased last year to help with long lines. While a 2019 omnibus allowed early voting sites to be more locations, including places that are normally election day polls, the Republican-led legislature has now written laws that expressly prohibits a mobile poll except during an emergency declared by the governor."

"Now that counties must finish tabulating all the votes by 5 p.m. the day after the election, lawmakers moved up their election certification deadline to six days after polls close instead of 10."

"The secretary of state will no longer chair the State Election Board, becoming instead a non-voting ex-officio member. The new chair would be nonpartisan but appointed by a majority of the state House and Senate."

"Other changes to the State Election Board's powers would give the board — and by extension, the legislature — more power to intervene in county elections boards that are deemed underperforming. In addition to the legislature-appointed chair, the five-member board is made up of one member appointed by the House, one appointed by the Senate and one each picked by the Democratic and Republican state parties.

The State Election Board, county commissions or a certain number of state House and Senate members that represent a county could request an independent group to conduct a performance review of their appointed elections board or probate judge that supervises elections, defined in Georgia law as the "superintendent." SB 202 would allow the State Election Board to suspend the multi-person elections board or probate judge and replace them with a single individual for at least nine months.

The election superintendent is responsible for everything from certifying results, handling polling place changes and hearing challenges to voters' eligibilities — something that SB 202 clarifies that must be heard in a timely manner after being filed and can include an unlimited number of challenges.

There isn't one. I believe my fellow citizens can register to vote, show up, and then vote. If not, they can certainly vote absentee. Do you disagree?

Still can't admit that CO laws make it EASIER to voter not harder and that EVERYONE automatically gets an absentee ballot. Thus, your premise is dishonest.

You just described at least one bar.

The GA cuts the time to do all of those.

Lulz - The good doctor is quickly approaching the "only fair thing to do is for the state to pre-populate everyone's ballot with a straight DEM ticket and cast their ballot for them because there are too many hurdles to vote" territory.
 
Taking out the talking points, the biggest take away is the law basically makes what Trump illegally wanted Georgia to do in the last election a much easier thing to do.
 
There is absolutely no reason for any of this. And since the new law, allows state officials to take over “under-performing local election districts”, a less scrupulous Brad Raffensberger will be able to do exactly what Trump wanted him to do.

And here we have the point Brad and junebug conspicuously avoid. Because otherwise, it would ruin their "Yay 'pubs! DEMS BAD!" narrative.

This was obviously the main point of the bill and why it's so controversial. Don't understand why the media is focusing on the water bottle stuff.
 
Because the water bottle stuff can’t be justified from a nonpartisan perspective.
