the laws are the laws.

they almost uniformly expand voter access and ease compared to what the laws were before.

It was spun by people as being the opposite but the facts show they were wrong.

Why not admit you were wrong about some of the provisions you found most troubling?

I was wrong about the impact of the provision limiting the extension of poll hours. (hopefully)

do you know if GA legislature has more or less control over election rules than other states? this is typically left to state legislatures.

seems the concern is that it's bad because of the party currently in charge - would it be bad if the other (or another) party was in charge?

I think it is bad no matter which side is in control. If anything calls for a bipartisan approach, it's a contested election.

who says it can't be bipartisan? If you want bipartisan potential then you want it in the hands of the legislature rather than the executive branch (Gov or SOS or some other individual) which is guaranteed to be one single party.

Then the bill should have made provisions for setting up a bipartisan committee made up of an equal number from each party to be chosen from the opposing party.

I think you have used up your arguments as to why this voting bill is racist and unfair to minorities Luther. I'm sorry all of Georgia's low income blacks and hispanics can't vote while the low income white's in rural Georgia get double votes, free water and ice cream in the polling lines and many other favors. Maybe since I'm in nearby TN I can just mail in a GA ballot for one of the poor and downtrodden, just tell me who to vote for.

The only thing he has left to complain about is his team didn't get a say.

what other states do that?

you also seem to be conflating legislature setting rules with handling a contested election

I cant imagine what city even wants this now. You will be thoroughly investigated to prove your wokeness. Eh..maybe not..guess it depends on the politics of the state.

Voter ID laws don't hinder anyone in most of the rest of the developed (and developing) world.

Surely you've seen reports about closing of DMVs in minority majority counties, requiring travel of around fifty miles to get an I.D. for voting.

50 whole miles? How does anyone expect a person to overcome such and obstacle?

What IDs Are Acceptable?

  • Any valid state or federal government-issued photo ID, including a free ID Card issued by your county registrar's office or the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS)
  • A Georgia Driver's License, even if expired
  • Valid employee photo ID from any branch, department, agency, or entity of the U.S. Government, Georgia, or any county, municipality, board, authority or other entity of this state
  • Valid U.S. passport ID
  • Valid U.S. military photo ID
  • Valid tribal photo ID
What if I don't have one of the six acceptable forms of Photo ID?

  • The State of Georgia offers a free ID Card. An ID Card can be issued at any county registrar's office free of charge.
    • To receive a voter identification card at the county registrar's office, the voter must provide:
      • A photo identity document or approved non-photo identity document that includes full legal name and date of birth.
      • Documentation showing the voter's date of birth.
      • Evidence that the applicant is a registered voter.
      • Documentation showing the applicant's name and residential address.
