Georgia's Election Law isn't that bad actually...still needs parts of it repealed, though

What’s in Georgia’s new voting law that lost it the All-Star Game - Poynter

The new law now requires 17 days of early voting, but provides the option of 19 days. The state used to require 16 days.

Previously, counties had to offer one Saturday of early voting and had the option to provide an additional Saturday and two Sundays, for a total of four weekend voting days. Generally larger, diverse Democratic-leaning counties were the ones that chose to offer up to four weekend days of early voting. That means that the early voting provisions likely mean the status quo in the larger counties.

The new law now mandates two Saturdays of early voting and makes the two Sundays optional. The Sunday voting can fall on either the second or third Sundays before Election Day. (Georgia election law did not previously allow Sunday voting on the Sunday directly before Election Day.)

This means that in smaller counties that previously only offered one Saturday of early voting, there will now be at least one second Saturday, whereas voters in counties that already offered four days of early voting will essentially operate under the status quo. Voting will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with the option of expanding the hours to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The law keeps Election Day hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. unchanged. For early voting, some counties will likely stick with the minimum standard of ending voting at 5 p.m., but large counties will likely use the option of extending those hours to 7 p.m.

That's literally backed by the KOCH's. The Koch's have been pushing voter suppression for a

decade.

You can't trust a source who's literally taking a money from an entity that has waged war against voting rights for a decade. Are you fukking kidding me? With this nonsense. Stop posting garbage like that. These laws use all the same shyt that a fukking GOP consultant said would bring down black and Hispanic voting. What's wrong with y'all man.

This is a war being waged specifically against us (black people). Don't defend these people, or try to make it seem like this is a good faith thing.

You really aren't saying anything about the law. What about it is the most egregious part?

A friend of mine likened it to gun laws...
I view any and all gun regulations as infringements...
So replace guns with voting and there you go
These laws infringe on voting.




The conversation is then do any of the infringements make sense.

I’m not having a conversation with someone posting Koch funded right wing propaganda and then telling me I should explain to them the issues because they ventured to the wrong part of the internet.

There is tons of information on why all these voter suppression laws popping up all over the country are an issue. If you want to educate yourself with Koch funded literature that’s on you. Take some time out and learn about the issue from non biased sources, but don’t sit here and tell me “Maybe ur wrong” when ur posting right wing slop in here. I’m not the dude for that

We're not talking about laws "all over the country", we're specifically talking about Georgia.

If you don't want to use the link from Poynter as a reference point, point out in the law what it is that you greatly find to be terrible.

You brothas who ride with these evil ass cacs when they’re trying to oppress your people are something else man


Why are you acting as if any this is in good faith and not an attempt to stop POC’s from voting which is exactly what it is and what scholars who have looked at this says will be the he out just like every other time the GOP has created new voter laws. Come on man Jesus
