Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) expressed outrage over state Republican lawmakers moving to end no-excuse absentee voting, automatic voter registration, and ballot drop boxes, calling the proposals “shameful.”
“This is shameful,” the newly-elected senator said of the proposals. “We need to swiftly pass the For The People Act to strengthen access to the ballot and prevent voter suppression from silencing our voices”:
Republican state senators in Georgia introduced bills Monday targeting a number of controversial voting issues, including no-excuse absentee voting. According to AJC, the measure would limit absentee voting to “those over 75 years old, voters with disabilities or anyone required to be absent from his or her precinct.”
The measures also include efforts to ban ballot drop boxes, requiring absentee voters to instead send their ballot in through the mail or deliver it to the country election office. Another proposal would prevent automatic voter registration.
“We’ve got to restore confidence in the ballot box,” Senate President Pro Tem Butch Miller, who cosponsored the bills, said. “When people lose confidence in the ballot box they ultimately lose confidence in their government.”
“Our goal is to be sure every vote is accounted for, accurate and legal,” he added.

Ya see, Democrats thought they were going take up to ten legislative chambers in the last election. They didn't take any, and lost three.
Oh, too bad!
taxpayer-funded ABC Australia put this propaganda on TV yesterday, claiming this is how Biden won Georgia. check out the nonpartisans:

Meet the formidable women in Georgia who fought for democracy and won. They battled generations of racism and voter suppression, inspiring record black voter turnout. Now their sights are set on the American South...
In last November’s presidential elections, black women in the southern US state of Georgia pulled off the unthinkable. They delivered a staunchly conservative state to Democrat Joe Biden.
Their secret? Record voter turnout...
“This vote is a hammer and you can use it. Or maybe it’s a flashlight and you can see your way out of this,” says Deborah Scott from Georgia Stand-Up, a non-partisan voting rights group based in the capital Atlanta.
Deborah and her team are part of a movement which has campaigned tirelessly for more than a decade to mobilise minorities to vote.
It’s an uphill battle. Activists believe the state government has been illegally purging tens of thousands off the electoral roll – a tactic they call ‘voter suppression’.
But this just adds fuel to their fire. “The more you suppress us, the more we are coming for you,” says Deborah.
Our US-based reporter Karishma Vyas goes to the Deep South as Deborah and her team gear up for the crucial Senate poll which will decide control of Congress.
We hear from voters who have been purged from the roll, from white militia members who question the validity of their vote, and from the volunteers mobilising young people to turn out like never before...
In a timely and inspiring story, we see the black women of Georgia successfully turn out record numbers of voters, even as powerful forces conspire to undermine their democratic rights.
For Deborah and her team, this is just the beginning. They have become a new force in US politics.
“As Georgia goes, so does the rest of the South. We see it as a tipping point,” says Deborah Scott...

All I can say is that Tree of Liberty may need watering.
black women of Georgia successfully turn out record numbers of voters,
I believe that should read “churned out record numbers of ballots”
What is really shameful is how the democrats used mail-in voting to cheat!!!
The sooner the legislature passes the bill the sooner the lawsuits can start.
A glimmer of good news, though even if passed still not nearly enough.
Statehood for PR and DC will give them 4 additional senators. Add new waves of illegal voting and the Georgia Republicans accomplished their mission!
####A glimmer of hope###
Yes indeed. I hope it gains traction in all 50 state legislatures. There are 75 million reasons this can happen.
The blacks simply cheated as nobody stopped them and were highly motivated on the gimmedat of the $2000 dollar free money (which they didn’t get all of anyway). The GA GOP is trash BTW. GA is going to have to have a reality check or the state and the rest of the south will vanish.
Thank God.
States control state elections. Not knowing that proves his ignorance and that of the liberals in congress that think they can make it a Federal control.
Don’t forget all the millions of “EF”erburg money that was used to create a two tier voting system, not to mention 62,000+ children (not 18 years of age on voting day) VOTED!
“prevent voter suppression from silencing our voices”
Translating Warlock’s forked tongue: “you’re trying to cheat us out of being able to win elections with cheating.”
Dims or should I say Marxists have no shame.

All of the Republican Controlled States need to pass similar legislation.
If the Republican Controlled States fail to do so, the Republican Party has committed suicide.
There are more than 20 States where the Republicans control the Legislature and the Governorship.
Now that Kemp amd Ratburger are up for election in 2022, everything must be on the up and up.
“We’ve got to restore confidence in the ballot box,” Senate President Pro Tem Butch Miller, who cosponsored the bills, said. “When people lose confidence in the ballot box they ultimately lose confidence in their government.”

Stuff your fake-ass talk after the horse has left the barn.
Warnock owes his "election" to two things - VOTE FRAUD and two crooked supposedly GOP politicians - kemp and raffensperger!
The only question: Will it happen? Otherwise it’s all Linda-talk.
