Record breaking early voting in Georgia.
This cowardly piece of shit president won't walk back his own Jim Crow on steroids rant, and neither will his (D) cultists here on DP.
Well, I can't remember off hand any president ever walking back any dire statements they made that proved to not come to fruition or just fell into the flat out incorrect category.
I am very happy all the nay sayers appear to have been proven substantially wrong about the Georgia Election Law Changes.
I truly hope that it has to do with folks promoting education of the electorate in how to easily comply with the changes and with members of the electorate just simply PAYING FREAKING ATTENTION.
There are still aspects of the law change to play out but of that it is with the change that took the oversight away from the Secretary of State and created a new administrative position chosen by the legislature. I am apprehensive as to how well this major change is going to play out. We will not really know until at least a midterm and a presidential election have come and gone.
But the other changes, I see them as positives.
Moving Ballot Drop Boxes indoors, I can live with that, especially in that it eliminates (or should) the whining from folks like those falsely claiming illegal ballot stuffing in the 2020 and special Senate runoff elections in Georgia.
The update to better identifying how a person qualifies for and qualifies their Absentee Ballots upon return by USPS and or Ballot Drop Boxes via proactive identification requirements is a plus in my opinion.
I understand the reasoning behind the outlawing of folks distributing free snacks or water to electors standing in line to vote. But I have an issue with the Georgia legislature's seeming belief it was all illegal electioneering. I think the Georgia Legislature needs to redouble efforts to eliminate Election Day lines where folks are queued up for hours on end. If that is happening then perhaps the Election Authorities themselves need to distribute snacks and drinks if they are fearful of undue influence when others do that?
I was happy to see that then early in person voting option was not eliminated and supposedly was increased.
OK, the change to the law regarding outlawing outside financial aid to county election authorities via such sourcing as 501c3 grants, I know, was a response to the OMG OMG OMG "Zuck Bucks" from CEIR and CTCL that many Republicans are certain was criminal and intended to sway the election for Joe Biden. But the thing is, if you are going to eliminate that needed and useful option to better the election process then you better be prepared to legislate more funding from the State to ensure no election agency across the state is falling short in the cash it needs to safely and securely conduct elections.
Just some of my thoughts on all of this.
