MLB cancels ASG in Atlanta

[GAVol]

Interesting me calling Luther a moron was removed when I was just calling him what he called all Republicans. I see a ton of name calling in the PF but not much gets removed.

A lot of insults gets removed. It’s just hard to ever get it all.

Out of the loop. What is the problem with the voting bill?

here is an actual link to the actual text. Full Text: Georgia’s Voting Law

all it does is formalize stuff that was already in place. mail in ballots were even formalized.

people complaining without reading what it is, is why the game got moved.

That’s 100% what happened. Time to go after MLB’s antitrust exemption.

That’s 100% what happened. Time to go after MLB’s antitrust exemption and blow the doors off their economics.

MLBs anti-trust exemption is why the game was moved. The league was threatened.

That’s absolutely what happened. And if they want to take political stances, it’s time to threaten them again.

 

[Tastylicks]

Literally nothing in the bill stops “black folks” from voting.

Yeah right. So naive

 

[allvol123]

Yeah right. So naive

It is a message board. You are free to explain.

 

[UT_VOLS13]

Yeah right. So naive

Yes, you are!!!

 

[GAVol]

Yeah right. So naive

Name one. I literally was just looking at the bill.

Fair. I was just returning fire though so I didn’t see it as out of bounds. I’m a Republican, he called Reps morons, so I used the same language he did. It is what it is but this has happened a few times recently. I’ll just start saying the opposite.

 

[hUTch2002]

Name one. I literally was just looking at the bill.

You beat me to it!

 

[RikidyBones]

Name one. I literally was just looking at the bill.

Democrats think black people are too poor and stupid to use the internet. It's their racism that supports their bemoaning not anything substantial.

Here are the most significant changes to voting in the state, as written into the new law:

• Voters will now have less time to request absentee ballots. *
• There are strict new ID requirements for absentee ballots.
• It’s now illegal for election officials to mail out absentee ballot applications to all voters. *
• Drop boxes still exist … but barely. *
• Mobile voting centers (think an R.V. where you can vote) are essentially banned. *
• Early voting is expanded in a lot of small counties, but probably not in more populous ones. *
• Offering food or water to voters waiting in line now risks misdemeanor charges.
• If you go to the wrong polling place, it will be (even) harder to vote. *
• If election problems arise, a common occurrence, it is now more difficult to extend voting hours. *
• With a mix of changes to vote-counting, high-turnout elections will probably mean a long wait for results.
• Election officials can no longer accept third-party funding (a measure that nods to right-wing conspiracy theories).
• With an eye toward voter fraud, the state attorney general will manage an election hotline.
• The Republican-controlled legislature has more control over the State Election Board. *
• The secretary of state is removed as a voting member of the State Election Board. *
• The G.O.P.-led legislature is empowered to suspend county election officials. *
• Runoff elections will happen faster — and could become harder to manage.

* Most concerning

1. Does it take 78 days for an email to get to you? Is 78 days really a problem? you are most concerned about there only being 78 days. typical.
2. "In order to confirm the identity of the voter, such form shall require the elector to provide his or her name, date of birth, address as registered, address where the elector wishes the ballot to be mailed, and the number of his or her Georgia driver’s license or identification card issued " bahahaha. that's strict? you don't even had to provide a copy, just a DL, or similar, number.
3. sorry that ballot harvesting is illegal. again I can't believe this is what you are most concerned about. Historically we have never mailed out ballots to everyone. NEVER.
4. drop boxes exist at the polls, where you were already limited to vote at.....yeah thats not a restriction. all voting happens at the same place for everyone.
5. all two of the mobile voting centers have to be used in case of emergencies. the horror. again, typical that you are getting bent out of shape by 2 mobile voting stations being reserved for emergency situations. oh course your article doesn't cover that part.
6. early voting expanded in places where its hard to get to the polls. but kept the same as it is where it isn't as difficult to get to the polls. again, typical that you find issue with early voting ACTUALLY BEING EXTENDED.
7. give the food to the volunteers and they distribute to the crowd.
8. are provisional ballots less than normal ballots? because they will mark it as provisional (to get double checked) if you are at the wrong place. Cause thats not an issue, or hasn't been in the past. again, typical that you are making a non issue an issue.
9. why should a 2 hour loss turn into a 12 gain of voting hours? again, non issue.
10. so what, they get it right. saves the Trump humpers from getting butt hurt about the news reporting totals wrong again, and them being too stupid to realize that the numbers weren't changed. I would think you would see this as a positive after this last election.
11. why should officials receive money from outside sources?
12, 13, and 14 are all linked. They removed a non elected official from the board. they placed checks and balances in place to make sure the voting laws are upheld equally across the state instead of the counties having different hours and causing confusion, which was an issue in the past. and in the past it was argued that it was done to favor the local red hats.
15. why is faster bad? You literally just complained about results taking too long under item 10.

typical uninformed bs.

i provided a link to the actual text. please provide a quote on how it makes it more difficult for one group to vote.

 

[Tastylicks]

Name one. I literally was just looking at the bill.

Then you know its an attempt at voter suppression. Considering it comes on the heels of historic turnout in the minority community, its pretty clear who they are trying to suppress

Well duh
The text ain't gonna say "were trying to stop black folks from voting cause we lost in 2020"

Sometimes you have to use that big brain God gave you

It’s so clear you can’t express how it suppresses anyone.

LOL, you can't even answer the question. Pathetic!

In other words, you’re parroting what you’ve heard... which is going on a lot with regard to this issue. What specifically in this bill is supposedly racist and can be equated to Jim Crow laws?

If functional, you should use your brain more often!

Republicans lost the election and can't accept it so they have to make it harder for people to vote.

Can any of our left leaning friends explain to me what is so bad about this bill? @lawgator1 @evillawyer

I seriously don’t know the logistics of it really. Other than the ID thing.

Here's a pretty good breakdown.

What Georgia’s Voting Law Really Does

 

[allvol123]

You're free to give specifics. So far in this thread, everyone holding your beliefs have failed.

Also, are you claiming non Republican voters tend to be less competent?
