Biden will not #STFU on Georgia

[archives]

the only difference is in the number of state electors appointed by the Legislature ( i think it increases it by 1)
and the fact the Legislature can supplant the sec of state by their purview

Not true, they can change local election officials at their whim, even on Election Day, and the Secretary of State has basically little authority over elections especially on how they are conducted locally

As I said before, imagine the local good ole boy Billy Bob Joe who owns the local used car lot and is the district election official getting a call from Trump asking to find him more votes

I’ve been living in Georgia for over 20 years and I have to show ID to vote every election. Having to show ID FOR ABSENTEE VOTING is a ruse, a distraction from talking about the issue YOU avoided. Having Republican politicians rule over County election boards .. straight Jim Crowism.

are you going to complain if the Dems hold the Chambers?
Your complaint is partisan, not systemic - what is the problem here?

The secretary of state will no longer chair the State Election Board, becoming instead a non-voting ex-officio member. The new chair would be nonpartisan but appointed by a majority of the state House and Senate. The chair would not be allowed to have been a candidate, participate in a political party organization or campaign or made campaign contributions for two years prior to being appointed.

The law also says the governor should appoint someone if the position becomes vacant when lawmakers are not in session.

Other changes to the State Election Board's powers would give the board — and by extension, the legislature — more power to intervene in county elections boards that are deemed underperforming. In addition to the legislature-appointed chair, the five-member board is made up of one member appointed by the House, one appointed by the Senate and one each picked by the Democratic and Republican state parties.

The State Election Board, county commissions or a certain number of state House and Senate members that represent a county could request an independent group to conduct a performance review

Looks very much like Florida law (except for teh stupid water restrictions) -which is also NOT Jim Crowe 2

They are all designed to limit voters overall and minorities in specific. They are as Jim Crow as you can get without counting jellybeans. They ARE Jim Crow. They even have the power to override local voter commissions if they do not like the results. This is election theft.
This is a threat to the American election system to support the reds. Fair is not winning.

maybe Ga can govern itself without carpetbaggers imposing their will

General Sherman should have finished your kind off

OMFG

Jim Crow is long gone. it's just a memory fart in Biden's brain
minority participation is up.

and that includes liberal rags like the Orlando Sentinel and the Palm Beach Post

It is reassuring to see that for-profit operations and businesses are speaking up about how these new Jim Crow laws that are just antithetical to who we are," the president told reporters Tuesday.

"There's another side to it too. When they in fact move out of Georgia, people who need help most, people who are making hourly wages, sometimes get hurt the most," Biden said.

He said he supports however businesses decide to protest the law. "I think it's a very tough decision for a corporation to make or group to make, I respect them when they make that judgment, I support whatever judgment they make. The best way to deal with this is for Georgia and other states to smarten up. Stop it, stop it," he said.

HE WANTS TO MAKE SURE WE ALL IKNOW THAT BLACKS ARE TOO STUPID TO GET IDs, AND/OR USE THE INTERNET.

None of that matters anymore.

H.R. 1 will do away with all state laws regarding election integrity, and it authorizes universal mail voting and ballot harvesting.

All of this "controversy" is noise to make the public believe that H.R. 1 isn't a ticket to one party rule.

It would be even higher if not for the stupid Jim Crow laws here.

Because Trump won down there.

If he hadn't, you'd be doing the same thing in FL that you're doing in GA.

Bingo.
that's exactly what this is ., get everyone whipped up with Jim Crow BS and (unConstituional) federalize elections

No it doesn't. Why do you lie when it's so easily disprovable.

There is no limit on drop boxes in Florida. Lie.
Florida allows the use of drop boxes 24/7 Lie.
Florida allows counties to send out absentee ballot applications. Lie.
Florida mailed out ballots and allowed absentee balloting months before the election. Lie
Florida's election board is part of the state department overseen by the Secretary of State. Lie
Florida does not prohibit handing out food and water to voters in line. Lie.

Are you a compulsive liar, or are you paid to lie? Or both.

So what?

All of this "controversy" is noise to make the public believe that H.R. 1 isn't a ticket to one party rule.

The only way HR 1 would lead to one party rule is if the GOP's ideas and policies aren't competitive.

Do you not think you can win an election based on the merits of your ideas and policies?

They are doing the same thing in Florida. At least they're trying. Almost measure for measure.

Cuz it doesn't sound to me like you think you can.

You lied about getting an unsolicited mail-in ballot in Florida.

no. even the liberal rags I just mentioned are not complaining about our elections
we have the right balance of access and security, as evidenced by their silence

There in lies the fact, “new chair would be nonpartisan but appointed by a majority of the state House and Senate,” like the party calling the shots isn’t going to appoint a partisan loyalist. In addition, that “new chair” can replace local election officials without even showing cause, in other words, to control the elections. Couldn’t be any more obvious, take authority away from the person elected by all the people and hand it over to a political appointee

And the bigger question is why? Why now? Georgia just finished an election that the election officials and Governor himself said publicly was the best election they had ever had, so why now the need for immediate “reform?”

The Voting Rights Act was passed to enforce the 15th Amendment. You must hate our Constitution.

like what? is it possible for you to support your ideas with a reference? (no)

I havent heard any calls for election reforms after 2020- and I read crap like Orlando Sentinel

 

[LV426]

unsupported

You're saying that turnout was up.

So if there weren't additional restrictions, turnout would have been even higher, right?

no. even the liberal rag I just mentioned are not complaining about our elections

Right, so there's no need to change the election laws since the election was secure.

This is running right up against your Big Lie. You can't argue that FL's vote was secure but also not secure, hence the new laws.

e have the right balance of access and security, as evidenced by their silence

Right, their silence on the laws that conducted the 2020 election, not the new laws you're pushing because you have intrinsically linked your entire persona and character to The Big Lie.

which has what to do with federalizing elections?
