Leftists fly into rage - and malign the law as Jim Crow revisited.
The Democrats’ response to any attempts by state legislatures to ensure integrity in their states’ elections is to cry “racism” and “Jim Crow.” Georgia’s new voting law, entitled the "Election Integrity Act of 2021," has become the Democrats’ favorite punching bag. They are twisting the truth about the law to bolster their case for stripping the states of their constitutional authority to determine the times, places, and manner of conducting elections within their own jurisdictions.
President Biden claimed that Georgia’s new voting law is “Jim Crow in the 21st century.” Senator Elizabeth Warren, who still accuses Georgia’s duly elected Republican Governor Brian Kemp of stealing the 2018 election from Democrat activist Stacey Abrams, said that the governor “signed a despicable voter-suppression bill into law to take Georgia back to Jim Crow.”
Businesses are being pressured to strongly protest Georgia’s new voting law. The CEO of Delta Airlines, which is based in Atlanta, got the message. He said that the “entire rationale” for the law is “based on a lie.” It is the branding of Georgia’s new law as “Jim Crow” that is the real lie.
At least three lawsuits have been filed against Georgia’s Election Integrity Act. One of the complaints filed in federal court called it the "Voter Suppression Bill.” The only thing that Georgia’s new law suppresses is cheating.
The “Voter Suppression Bill” complaint, for example, claims that the new law “[I]mposes unnecessary and burdensome new identification requirements for absentee voting.” To the contrary, the requirements serve a rational purpose to root out voter cheats and are not burdensome. A voter requesting an absentee ballot needs to submit with their application their driver’s license number, their personal identification number on a state-issued personal identification card, or a photocopy of other specified forms of identification.
Only race-mongers and election “reform” opportunists would label such voter identification requirements as voter suppression. These requirements are no more burdensome than the forms of ID that individuals are required to show before they can fly or cash a check. Voters can obtain a free voter ID card from any county registrar's office or the Georgia Department of Driver Services. There is no financial or other barrier discriminatorily preventing members of minority communities from obtaining a free voter ID card. Moreover, according to a 2019 working paper for the National Bureau of Economic Research, strict ID laws were found to have had “no significant negative effect on registration or turnout overall or for any subgroup defined by age, gender, race, or party affiliation.”
Critics of Georgia’s new law complain that Georgia has reduced the number of days to request an absentee ballot from 180 days to 78 days. The Georgia legislature had found that a too lengthy absentee ballot process had "led to elector confusion, including electors who were told they had already voted when they arrived to vote in person.” Only race-mongers and election "reform” opportunists would consider providing 78 days to request an absentee ballot, instead of an absurdly long 180 days, to be voter suppression. The same is true with those who think it is racist to prohibit the state from sending out unsolicited absentee ballot applications to who knows what addresses.
The race-mongers and election “reform” opportunists also think that it is so shockingly racist to require that absentee ballots be verified and accepted by 5:00 pm the day after the election. When do they think a post-Election Day deadline is no longer racist? A week after Election Day? A month? A year?
What the race-mongers and election “reform” opportunists don’t want the general public to know about Georgia’s changes to its election law is that the changes do not restrict the substantive grounds for an eligible voter to request an absentee ballot. Moreover, contrary to the distortions the law’s critics are bandying about, the changes do not require that an absentee ballot be rejected solely due to an apparent mismatch between the identifying information of the voter on the application and the identifying information of the voter on file with the board of registrars. In such cases, the law says that the board of registrars or absentee ballot clerk shall send the voter “a provisional absentee ballot with the designation 'Provisional Ballot' on the outer oath envelope and information prepared by the Secretary of State as to the process to be followed to cure the discrepancy.”
Georgia’s new election law expands most voters' access to in-person early voting. There will be three weeks of early voting, with voting hours from at least 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, and up to as many as 12 hours of voting. As for weekend voting, early voting must be made available on both Saturdays of the early voting period, and counties will have the option to hold voting on Sundays as well. But we wouldn’t know about this expansion of early voting in Georgia if we relied on the dishonest race-mongers and election “reform” opportunists for our information. How come nobody is criticizing Joe Biden’s home state of Delaware, which still has no early voting at all as of today and won’t have any early voting until 2022? Why isn’t Senator Warren pressing for the holding of in-person early voting for elections in her home state of Massachusetts beyond the two weeks that are presently the case – a week less than Georgia provides?
Georgia’s new election law’s critics have seized on the law’s controversial provision prohibiting people from approaching voters standing in line waiting to vote and offering them any money or gifts including food or drink. The purpose is to keep campaign workers and other partisans from offering such inducements near polling places as a tactic to push voters at the last minute into voting the partisans’ way. Aside from voters being able to bring their own food and drink, the law allows poll workers to make available water to voters waiting in line to vote. However, the critics would like us to believe that Georgia is forcing voters to endure horrendous thirst or hunger as the price for standing in line to vote.
Poll taxes, literacy tests, property tests, and voter intimidation through violence or threats of violence were examples of what real Jim Crow measures preventing blacks from voting looked like. They are all gone and are not coming back in another form today as the demagogues want us to believe. Georgia’s Election Integrity Act of 2021 protects the sanctity of the vote with common sense safeguards ensuring that every legitimate vote cast by voters of any race, age, gender, or party affiliation counts.

The offensive
Of course. That's why the Democrats and their fellow travellers oppose it.
Fact is, its rascist to assume blacks cant get a valid id or are too stupid to figure out how to get to the polling place on election day.
EXACTLY!
It doesn’t do anything to stop Ruby and her girlfriends from running the same ballots over and over.
This short video says it all......yet, I’m betting that every person in East Harlem that was interviewed voted for the same person as all the liberal, hipsters in Brooklyn
Ami Horowitz: How white liberals really view black voters .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW2LpFkVfYk
As a disgusted Georgia resident, and I know I ain’t the only one on here, I’m not going to hold my breath on this. I think 2 suits have already been filed to overturn the law.
I’ll find it interesting if the courts hear the cases, since the ACLU somehow has, standing. When SCOTUS and every other court refused to hear the suits from everyone else due to their ‘lack of standing’.
It’s not worth discussing laches in this case, to use Pennsylvania logic....too soon to say if there is any injury, so you can’t bring the suit....by the time the next election rolls around, it’ll be too late.
Either way, as I’ve stated before, Kemp, Duncan, Carr, Raffensberger, Ralston, Dugan and all but about 2 or 3 of the Republican State Controlled Congress did their jobs, as China directed them to, last November and January. I feel that this was written to appease the people and if the courts overturn it, they’ll all just shrug their collective shoulders and say “oh well”.
Then they’ll do what it typical of the Republican Georgia legislators do when they run....Gonna lower your taxes, y’all....2nd Amendment, y’all...Never taking your guns, y’all....gonna slow down the out of control development, y’all....did I mention the 2nd Amendment? I’m gonna protect your 2nd Amendment, y’all.
All the while, taking money from every developer, farmer, chicken plant owner, who all love that cheap Mexican labor. And now taking money from all the tech companies wanting to move down here and, of course, Hollywood. Because Georgia is such a great place for movies and tv shows, but don’t mention the insane tax breaks the taxpayers, provide...I mean STATE provides and Hollywood sure does love those Right To Work laws to keep from paying all those unions.
And yet, most of them will get sent back. Promising to do better next time.
Once again, a basic examination of fact proves there’s no suppression of voting.
Oddly, there’s longer early voting in Georgia than in Massachusetts.
Please contact Elizabeth Warren and let her know how racist she is.
From the article:
“Georgia’s new election law’s critics have seized on the law’s controversial provision prohibiting people from approaching voters standing in line waiting to vote and offering them any money or gifts including food or drink. The purpose is to keep campaign workers and other partisans from offering such inducements near polling places as a tactic to push voters at the last minute into voting the partisans’ way.”
If a Democratic party organizer offered me free water while I stood in an 8 hour line I’d smile, thank them warmly, and then vote for the exact same candidate I would choose if they hadn’t offered me the water. As usual the Republican Party pushes for a gallon where a pint would suffice, then complains when the courts overrule them.
As for the Republican Party: I'll never vote for a RINO again.
I will never support anyone who is untruthful or willing to sell the USA for personal gain.
From now on, I support Donald Trump or anyone else who is truthful and pro-American.
I didn’t know the ACLU had “standing.” I thought the Supreme Court had ruled that nobody has “standing” to seek redress for voter fraud—and that therefore voter fraud is de facto legal in the USA.
That’s what I thought, as well. And we will soon find out, won’t we.
And I agree with you about voting. If President Trump doesn’t endorse, I ain’t voting. I for damned sure will not vote for Kemp, Duncan, or Carr. I’m done.
If I’m not mistaken, and if anyone knows feel free to correct me, but there was language in the Georgia bill that did away, completely, with ‘mail in voting’ and it was removed. Folks are making a mistake and confusing absentee voting with ‘mail in voting’. Two totally separate things.
Next year, Covid-22 will sweep the nation and ‘mail in voting’ will once again, ensure that Dem’s win whatever they want.
The result should be this
REVIEW THOSE GEORGIA SENATE ELECTION RESULTS
There were a series of fraudulent voting charges here. Were they enforced and corrected before this election took place ? If they weren’t is not a review called for ? They were created with the introduction of Covid 19 which Biden campaign thanks the CCP for doing; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3940857/posts
If the Georgia Secretary of State is in charge of voting he has the responsibility of enforcing the state’s regulations as to who votes. And eliminate those from voter lists who don’t qualify.
Assign prosecutors to personally canvass and investigate. Check if military actually voted by asking them. Identify all voters by checking on legal age their residency and citizenship. If found they do not qualify charge Illegals including state visitors known as snowbirds also include any technical computer fraudulent Italian programming testimony when presenting to the court and get these election results tossed.
LINKED HERE ARE REASONS WHY THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING 90% of the military votes went for Biden ?

I really loathe and despise these people. Everything they do is based on a lie. Just like their master....Satan
Someone put up a spreadsheet that documents the fraud, by each of the contested states
Raffensberger apparently told the President that only 2 dead people voted in Georgia. Whereas the spreadsheet showed it was around 10,000.
Wondering if anyone can find that or of the person that originally posted it can re-post it.
The law in Georgia is a step in the right direction, but only a step. It doesn’t go far enough. They need to go back and ban no excuse absentee voting and they need to require an independent signature match check for all ballots.
I have already informed Woka Cola that I will no longer buy their products after having been a lifetime coke drinker, and I will now write to Delta and inform them that I refuse to ever fly with them again for opposing election integrity. I advise everybody to do the same. Corporations need to learn that there are real costs for siding with the enemy.
You are correct. No excuse absentee voting aka mail in voting was banned under the bill - but then that key provision was stripped out. It needs to be added back in. Also an independent signature match needs to be required. No more corrupt poll workers or Ratburgers “checking” their own work.
It appears they took away any of the election stuff from Raffensberger.
But when you don’t call in Ruby and her daughter to explain what they were doing, we all know it’s for show.
If I’m not mistaken Ralston was the main one pushing for the ‘mail in voting’ prohibition to be removed. That man is a disgusting. Won’t be soon enough to see him gone from the state House. I would love to see all the secret bank accounts he has and trace all the money back to his puppet masters.
Yes, the evil most fundamental to the decadence of Western Civilisation is contempt for truth.
