Me: "Your argument completely falls apart. Most of the blue states wouldn't pass YOUR standard."
You: "Check out this .gif!"
Your first argument was that Colorado voting laws were more strict. When proven incorrect, you moved to arguing if the Georgia law was "too high a bar."

He will not admit he's wrong.
Point out to me anything untrue in that piece, Colonel.
Colorado has voter ID laws and less early voting than Georgia. That's indisputable . The stricter part of the Georgia law (as sourced from your article) is that in Georgia (as is the case in plenty of states, including blue ones) you have to request a ballot. It's only "stricter" in Georgia than in Colorado if that bar in Georgia (and New York, and Virginia, and California and North Carolina, etc.) is "too high", and even then only in part of the law (Georgia remains more liberal on other areas).
So...is that bar too high or not?
1. "Outside groups will be prohibited from offering food or water to voters waiting in long lines even on hot and humid days. (Long lines are one of the leading reasons cited for not voting.)"
SB 202 directly addresses the issue of long lines by mandating the county has to add voting equipment or split the precinct if voters have to wait more than an hour on election day. If long lines are suppressing the vote, this bill helps to address the issue. And Pulitzer Prize finalist Max Boot fails to acknowledge that voters are not prohibited from bringing their own food or water to the polls or that poll workers will have water stations available. In addition, GA is definitely known for those hot and humid days in November.
2. "New ID requirements will be instituted"
SB 202 moves GA away from the subjective signature match on absentee ballots to objective ID number match from photo ID's or other docs. And this will ease the pressure on local election officials trying to make a subjective determination on a signature. Yet this is a bad thing according to the left and Boot?
3. "Election officials will be banned from sending absentee ballots to all voters"
500,000+ voters in GA requested an absentee ballot but showed up to vote in person which slowed down voting (and suppressed the vote per Boot). Keep in mind GA voters can still request an absentee ballot with no questions asked and the deadlines for sending out and receiving absentee ballots are in line with many other states.
BTW, the state of Delaware still requires an excuse when requesting an absentee ballot - JIM CROW!!11 JIM CROW!!!
