The GOP and Minority Rule

[evillawyer]

What is extreme about requiring voter ID and asking people to request an absentee ballot? I’ve voted absentee before and it’s insanely easy to get a ballot.

You know what I like? A robust democracy with high levels of voter participation and low levels of voter fraud. You know what Georgia voting had last go around? High levels of voter participation and low levels of voter fraud. The GOP hasn't found any substantial fraud, yet they wanna take action that they know will make voting more difficult. And why? Because there's fraud? Nope, couldn't find any of that. They wanna do it because it's their only chance for winning.

Here comes the minority rule push in Georgia!

As it should be.

This action doesn't make voting anymore difficult.

How does requiring an ID and a ballot request make voting more difficult? The primary result would ensure legal votes. Why does pursuing only legal votes favor Republicans? Because they're more honest? Why does the extreme extra work of requesting a ballot deter Democrats? Because they're lazy?

Both sides should want a truthful election. It seems like you and other Democrats are arguing for the way that will favor you winning. Ambiguity.

These are just common sense voting reforms.

One of the best analyses I've read concerning the structural problems with American democracy. We're not on a good path if the GOP continues their anti-democratic ways.
The insurrection was put down. The GOP plan for minority rule marches on.

Interesting. The DNC ways are certainly anti-democratic. Says Ink Pen Joe.

On the contrary I think that you should get a ballot receipt when you file your taxes. That receipt is your ticket to vote. And just like filing your taxes, voting should be required for every citizen

Winner winner chicken dinner!!!!!

24th Amendment would need to be repealed for that to happen. That would be considered a poll tax...

It would be an interesting SCOTUS case, but I don't see how that could be a poll tax.

Why is showing proof that you are who you say you are, and that you are, in fact, the registered voter making the choices and casting the vote considered "more difficult"? Why would you or anyone else object to voter identification as part of the voting process?

The law was followed.
If not, take it to court. Oh yea, they tried.

Yeah I am sure all of those affidavits were just made up. Video evidence? Doctored. Sworn testimonies? Lies.

Please explain how a voting center makes it more difficult to vote.

Holy **** what a bunch of hooie

Remind me who is under investigation for fraud and why in the Georgia election scandals

Georgia Republicans are doubling down on racist voter suppression

So does this prevent early voting entirely? Or for the vast majority of the week?

Here comes the first round of the minority rule legislation

Who has never gotten majority and minority mixed up before?

Its fairly complex terminology.

It specifically eliminates early voting on Sundays, when Black churches traditionally hold “Souls to the Polls” get-out-the-vote drives.

Under IRS code, “all IRC section 501(c)(3) organizations, including churches and religious organizations, are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office.

Since black churches obviously have an agenda in seeing that their members voted, this would be a violation of the rules keeping non profit entities such as churches from pushing a political agenda.

I agree that this is an unnecessary battle. I see nothing wrong with this other than Republicans didn’t think of it first. This is another way that Democrats have out flanked republicans. But this will likely swing like a pendulum and once the republicans catch on and start doing the same thing, it will become an injustice. Can you imagine the outrage of “souls to polls” in a predominately white evangelical church?

I agree. It’s a worthless fight for them to pick, but I understand what they’re trying to curb. Black churches have been exploited for years.

Churches should not be involved in elections. The color the building is painted is irrelevant
