This voting law alone rids us of the hate group the right calls a party and it is 1/100 as offensive as the 300 bills the right has put together across the nation to take away votes of Democrats to get rid of us. The right can no longer exist in a democracy and they know it ,so they will do anything at all to stay in power, that includes anything to take away the votes of Democrats and anyway at all to turn around election for any reason, of course that reason will be if Dems win. their 1/6 attempt to bring down our country and democracy to force in a piece of shit for a dictator. Show us clearly what they will do if we let them. If you are a patriot , you won't let them.

Our constitution makes everything that red state legislatures do to suppress voting PERFCTLY OK.
We can write all the laws that we want.
One, fuckface Joe Manchin will block them.
Two, the orangutan's hand picked SCOTUS will strike them down if they pass.
I repeat, our constitution specifically makes state controlled voter suppression OK.
Why can't everybody see that?
Licking the constitution's rectum is something for the far right to do, not us.

Maybe we can hand out bottles of whiskey as an incentive like the Soviets did with Vodka to get people to vote. Even easier, you got to cast a ballot that was blank for the Communists or you could mark your ballot as a dissenter for gulag...

Sure. https://www.brennancenter.org/our-wo...dup-march-2021 The repubs have relied on suppression for a long, long time. The fact that the Repubs are losing their voter base and cannot compete fairly, is what spurred all the suppression.
If EVERY eligible citizen is registered and then required to submit at the very least an unmarked ballot if that's that person's preference,
it will be called an "imposition" by the Libertarians,
but it will be a worthwhile one which results in fair elections.
Every citizen of sound mind, including those incarcerated in prison, must be required to participate.
Everybody over 21.
18- year- olds just want to get high and fuck--who's kidding whom?--so we can afford them a little more time.

Well, let's start by looking at one of the bills your source lists as "voter suppression."
How does requiring voters "provide a state identification number or photocopy of an identifying document with their absentee ballot application" voter suppression? This requirement is pre-voting. That is, when you register to vote. That someone is required to provide identification as to who they are applying for an absentee ballot is not an onerous requirement. In fact, once you had such a document in hand you could reuse it for future elections. It doesn't suppress the vote in any way. Knowing you must provide such a document to get an absentee ballot gives you like forever--well months--to get the document before applying.GA SB 202 (omnibus): Gov. Brian Kemp signed SB 202 into law on March 25. The omnibus elections bill incorporates elements of at least 16 other bills that Georgia legislators had previously introduced. SB 202 limits absentee voting by requiring voters to provide a state identification number or photocopy of an identifying document with their absentee ballot application, barring election officials from affirmatively sending out ballot applications, giving voters less time to apply for an absentee ballot, and sharply restricting the availability and hours of drop boxes. It also effectively reduces early voting in many counties by standardizing early voting days and hours. The bill affirmatively sanctions “mass challenges” to voter eligibility, meaning that one person can come to a county clerk’s office and seek to have an unlimited number of voters removed from the voter rolls for being ineligible (though such efforts can violate the National Voter Registration Act). In one particularly cruel provision, SB 202 criminalizes the act of giving snacks or water to voters waiting in line at polling places.
Barring election officials from mailing everyone an application is not suppressive either, unless you think voters and the public are retards. Officials could use public advertising to tell the public to apply for a ballot and even how to do that. This simply puts the onus of getting a ballot on the voter rather than election officials.
As for "less time to apply," how much time is appropriate? A week? How about a month? Any time the voter wants to? This is an absurd argument, particularly when nothing is presented about what the time limit being sought is.
Early voting? This is the same absurd argument. We used to have an election day. Now it's more like an election season that's in some places well over a month long. Ballots that are cast after the official end of the election are still counted as valid some places. How idiotically absurd is that? What, people can't be bothered to take a bit of time and vote? Or, is voting so unimportant that we shouldn't bother or inconvenience anyone in having to do it? I thought voting was a very serious matter that should be taken seriously but apparently not by the Brennen Center...
Then there's "drop boxes." Since when was the standard for ballot handling to put unsupervised boxes at various locations and leave them there for weeks filling with ballots? How utterly stupid is that idea? What, people can't be inconvenienced to actually mail or hand in their ballot through a more secure system?
If you go through the Brennan Center's list these themes are recurring. Their central argument isn't that voting is being suppressed but that it isn't being made as simplistic, widely available, unsupervised, and uncontrolled as possible. It seems more a variant of "Vote early, vote often..." than an attempt to make a valid argument for how these laws create voter suppression. Maybe they can hand out these during election season since it isn't a day anymore...

you idiots really love the idea of forcing people to do things, don't you?
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

85% of the voting population vote and the hate party is toast. There are 22 countries that have mandatory voting and Russia isn't one of them, nor has it ever had it. So I say this is just another normal hate party lie , they have to lie because everything about them that is true is ugly cruel unAmerican and traitorous .
