Surprised that no one has mentioned that there is no cost for an ID to be used for voting purposes. So, stop spreading that falsehood. It isn’t true anywhere that I know.Bob Juch wrote: ↑Fri Apr 02, 2021 10:14 amApples and oranges.
It's racist to require ID to vote when to get the ID, people have to go to a DMV office and pay to get one, and the DMV offices have been closed in minority areas.

Re: A loophole in Georgia's new voter suppression law
I just looked at the US Census site:
2019 statistics: White alone, not Hispanic or Latino, 60.1%
So can I continue to use the word "minority" or "minorities" to refer to non-white? Without it being a problem? You do. So do most others. Can I? Pretty please?

Re: A loophole in Georgia's new voter suppression law
No, these were small counties, both in terms of size and population, where it was considerably easier to get to drop boxes. And, for the record, drop boxes were used for the first time in the 2020 election. Nobody said that the smaller counties only could have one drop box. The law just said that they had to have at least one in every county. Fulton County felt there was a need for considerably more drop boxes, and nothing the logistics of getting around in this county, it makes sense.

Have you read that particular section? It is pretty clear the intent and the reasoning behind it. And it is likely based on abuses that have occurred by similar activities. I realize you are not concerned about such abuses, if they come from your particular side, but new law does not prevent people in line from getting drinks for themselves or drinks being provided by the election judges.
It bars anyone from doing so.

Re: A loophole in Georgia's new voter suppression law
No...a lot of them live in small towns where it’s not overly difficult to get to the few number of drop boxes they had.BackInTex wrote: ↑Fri Apr 02, 2021 4:00 pmSo the primarily Republican counties were always oppressed by having only one box to drop ballots off in, but since they were previously oppressed and continue to be oppressed by having only a single location, it's O.K.? Am I reading that correctly?silverscreenselect wrote: ↑Fri Apr 02, 2021 2:00 pmNo, what is racist are the requirements that disproportionately affect minority communities and make voting more difficult there when there is no valid reason to do so. The 2020 elections were the most carefully monitored and most heavily litigated in our nation's history. There was no evidence of fraud that would necessitate additional "security" measures.
I voted by absentee ballot and dropped our ballots in a drop box outside a Fulton County vocational training building about a mile from home. I could have done so 24 hours a day. Under the new law, the number of drop boxes per county will be much lower, from 38 to about 8 in Fulton County. (a maximum of one drop box per 100,000 registered voters in the county). Most of the small, heavily Republican counties only have one drop box location anyway, usually at the county courthouse, so the new law won't affect them. However, it will make it much more burdensome to use the drop box in urban counties that just happen to be heavily Democratic (I'll also have to go inside a building that's an early voting location during voting hours to use the drop box). There was absolutely no evidence of fraud or theft regarding drop boxes (which had surveillance cameras) in the last election. This is just one of the changes that has no effect on election security but a highly disproportionate effect on voting in Democratic counties.
Minorities can and will still locate drop boxes if they need them to vote. But it becomes considerably more difficult to use them for no valid reason.
SSS’ other point is well taken. There was no problem with either the number of or the security of the drop boxes.
Therefore there was no need to craft legislation that limited them.
In my day conservatives used to be against onerous legislation and regulation that served no purpose.
That doesn’t seem to be an issue with today’s tribal right wing.
Interesting how many principles get chucked overboard when tribe becomes all important.

Re: A loophole in Georgia's new voter suppression law
The Georgia primary was in June. Lines in some predominantly black precincts in Fulton County were five-six hours long. Although the official closing time was 7 pm, many precincts stayed open until 9 or 10, and some people didn't actually get to vote until the next day.
Every time the Georgia General Assembly "addresses the issue" of long lines, it's to reduce the number of polling places in the metro Georgia counties. Georgia has 159 counties. Over 100 of them have less than 50,000 total population, so long lines on election day there aren't an issue. Not coincidentally, the vast majority of those small counties are mostly white and tend to vote Republican in large numbers. The largest counties in the state have half the population but less than 40% of the voting locations.
Voting is not a "duty"'; it is a right. The state has no business throwing up barriers to make that right more difficult when those barriers predominately affect voters in areas that vote overwhelmingly for one political party over another.
