GOP's latest Georgia bill reminds us why Biden won 7M more votes than Trump

Even Britain and Canada are reporting on this, acknowledging it to be a desperate ploy by the GOP to try to swing the next election in their favor, knowing full well it serves as a means of voter suppression to try to dissuade many minority voters - who generally tend to vote Democrat - from standing in line for many HOURS to vote (something that generally takes <10 minutes within predominately white communities).

It's all part of the way the Right, and TrumpTards in particular, want to rig the vote.

Oh yes, the liberal 'minorities are incapable' angle.

No one is stopping anyone from bringing their own water and food.

Care to explain why any voter - in any community - should ever expect they'd need to spend HOURS waiting in line just to vote?

I've never waited more than a few minutes, but I'm a white guy in a mostly white community. There's no justifiable reason for forcing black folks to wait hours. No wonder mail voting is popular, yet the TrumpTards bitch about it.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. No wonder you virtue signal like a champion. Haha

Weird, I only see white people in that line. That discrimination?

Better, biotch?

No, you proved it's not just minorities having to wait. Thx

Have you seen the primary system? Nobody should have to wait that long. Why are they?

This in Atlanta where 50 percent of people are black and the mayor is black. The representatives are an even mix of black and white, r and d. Local governments decide the polling places not the state government. But worry about this bill instead of the actual problem and who is to blame.

So keep pretending its Republicans and evil whites that have created this mess. Like usual you enable poor behavior from some while shouting racism at others. The left never takes a second to think about a problem and look for solutions to it. They only care about being saviors in image. They don't work for a living so they must shove their shallow outrage and morals down your throat to feel relevant to the world. It also helps to create a mass of voters who are all on the same page setting up the ultimate nanny state. Get the f**k out the basement, get a job and support yourself or be useless cancer the rest of your lives.

Educate yourself...

Thanks for proving my point. Did you even read it you f ing moron? Way to waste my time.

Enough food and water for an eight-hour wait in line? Get real.

Wha? I thought minorities had to wait for at least 48 hours? While whites get limousine service right to the front, of course!

Somebody in Georgia should put this stupid law to the test. They'd never get a conviction, all they'd need is one juror with common sense to get a hung jury.

You got your wish. There are 3 legal actions that have now been filed challenging Georgia's new election laws citing violations to the First, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments and Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. Even better, the same election law experts that defeated 64/65 of the GOP/Trump's post election lawsuits are dealing with them.

That is good news, thanx.

Lmao - there are people drinking mud water to survive and Democrats believe not getting a bottle of water while they wait is voter suppression.

First world problems.

That's just one of many new restrictions that have been implemented in Georgia. Can't wait to your rationale for criminalizing what is in essense 'basic necessities of life' to anyone standing in voter lineups that at times have exceeded 9 hours.

One should be smart enough to eat and drink prior to getting in line to vote. Grab a granola bar and bottle of water. Done.

The fact that Democrats are making this argument is a joke. You are not allow to make an attempt to solicit vote while in line at the polls - which they are. As long as the law denies the same thing to republicans - I honestly could care less. This is a personal responsibility.

Electioneering was the excuse the GOP used for implementing it but the reality is, those multiple hour long waits are predominately found in under-resoured communities containing high populations of people of color.

Do you really think a granola bar and bottle of water would sustain you or even someone with diabetes, etc, if you had to stand in line for 9 hours to vote?

If you have a specific condition in which a Snickers candy bar and bottle of water won’t help - pack a small cooler.

The only way I’d be against this is if they allowed “white” people to get bottles of water and snacks while they waited - but they won’t.

So the argument is some bullshit racebait garbage by Democrat scum.

Says the person who has never stood in line for 9 hours to vote.

I enjoy the assumptions. Regardless, it has already been stated - there is NO BAN on having a food, water, or tent station. Only a ban on going from individual to individual while they are in line. So they can grab their hot dog and bottle of water and get in line.

An accurate assumption, I'm sure, based on multiple prior 'tells' you provided in previous comments. I'll leave it up to you to try to figure out what those were.

So now we are on to the old liberal diversion tactics.

Again, no ban on food and beverage for minorities. No, they are not suppressing minority votes. And no, voter ID laws are not racist.

Riiiight... that's why 3 Republican Party Committees have filed an intervenor motion in the legal action challenging Georgia's new election law stating that if the law was struck down if would disadvantage the GOP in elections.

You do know resources "taxes" should be higher in minority areas because they are usually more populated. It's nice that as a savior you feel it is your duty to spin some nonsense tale of oppression, but you aren't preaching to the choir here on imgflip.

While I give you credit for being aware enough to know that resources originate from taxes, you have a very simplistic and dumbass understanding of how such should be and/or is distributed. Population size is NOT the governing factor as to who gets what; it's a combination of multiple factors based on income taxes, property taxes, sales taxes, corporate taxes, business investments, etc, originating and accruing from any given community that ultimately determines the resources available to them.

The fact that you didn't even know that is no more surprising to me than your lack of knowledge of all the various means and methods used throughout history to try to suppress minority votes.

Cute. So I looked it up and big surprise Georgia has one of the highest tax rates by population. So yep there is no excuse.

For example here is Florida with 3 times the population but only 33 percent more tax revenue. So the problem is not resources but how they are being used. And again you can't keep falling back on this racism argument because the population is majority minority period. They have the power.

Now you say thats just more proof of racism since they aren't getting the money and I once again point out the demographics of the state and the fact that people are not helpless like you think they are.

Everyone understands that you can't get past the victimhoom perspective. All you see is racism. Seek help.

Good on you for conducting some research; that's something I can actually respect, even if the information you discovered doesn't quite address the issue.

Since you didn't provide the entire spreadsheet nor actual link to the data above, I have no idea what you're looking at, other than it's a quarterly report of something. I also don't know what you mean when you say "Georgia has one of the highest tax rates by population". And, before you decide to get cocky with your answer, I think it prudent to warn you that I possess both a corporate and legal background so do actually understand this stuff.

I'll agree with you on one thing though, how resources are allocated is always a critical issue. My major complaint is that is always tends to be predominately black and/or minority communities that are most negatively and disproportionately affected by underfunding, poll closures, purging off voter rolls, etc.

Whether you believe it or not, racism and voter suppression is very real and the people most inclined to support such are almost always members of the GOP party rather than Dems. While I acknowledge not all Republicans are inherently racist, zenophobic, etc, I am, however, completely disgusted by the lack of honesty, integrity and courage exhibited by many within the party that continue to perpetuate Trump's blatant lies.
