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.
Yep

Unless the state pays for 100% of the cost and makes sure everyone gets an ID, it is 100% a poll tax. If you don't pay for an ID you can't vote. It's no different than paying an entrance fee to vore.
On top of that there is no problem.
How much is an ID I didn’t even realize you had to it for them. Having state issued I’ds seems reasonable.
Republicans love to require voter IDs while simultaneously closing DMV offices in all the minority neighborhoods.
Shouldn’t this harm rural people at a higher rate than inner city folks?It isn't necessarily the direct cost of the ID that is the issue. It is the potential for hours of lost time (during standard business hours only, mind you) that some people just don't have. Lack of child care or transportation, jobs with no paid time off, things like that are much less of a problem for those not living on the margins. I'm a proponent of a national ID system, but it needs to be easy and free for everyone. Moreover, you can't make laws requiring IDs until they are easy and free for everyone. Unfortunately, this happens far too often.
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.
this is the real threat hidden in the middle of the whole thing. nobody expects the legislature to take over the Bumfuck County GA elections. This is a target painted right on Fulton County.
Since Junebug has carefully read the law, maybe he can tell me whether the state is providing funding for counties with long lines to split up precincts. If not, how does the state expect those voting machines to be purchased and facilities leased? Because the law also prohibits counties from accepting outside funding to accomplish those goals.
Haha
How do the ogboards deplorables feel about the GA Lt Governor admitting today that their new voter suppression laws are thanks to Rudy Giuliani after he "spent hours in committee rooms spreading misinformation about the election."
also, when do they determine that the lines were long therefore we need to split things? are they looking at the 2020 election, or will they "look" in 2022 and promise to get around to it next time?
Hurting the right people is the policy initiative.

In this context, "hurting" Georgia voters is treating them like they live in Delaware, Virginia, New York, California, North Carolina and Illinois.
