Don't Label These Guys As "Socialists," For Supporting Democracy.

Why is it illegal to offer food or water to someone who has waited hours in line in the hot sun to vote? Maybe because the only ones forced to wait hours in line are blacks in districts that only have one polling place to vote. What is the wait time to vote in white republican districts?

Another section of the law, which has generated criticism from Biden and others, limits how voters can be provided food and drink in the vicinity of a voting location.

The law makes it a misdemeanor for "any person" to give or offer "any money or gifts," including "food and drink," to any voter within a polling place, within 150 feet of the building housing a polling place, or "within 25 feet of any voter standing in line to vote at any polling place."

This provision is located in the same paragraph as a provision banning campaign activity in these locations, but the provision doesn't prohibit only people who are campaigning from giving out food and drink. It says "any person," not just campaigners.

There is, however, one exception: poll officers are allowed to make available "self-service water from an unattended receptacle to an elector waiting in line to vote." And it's perhaps worth noting that there is not a prohibition on voters in line buying food and drink for themselves; the provision is about other people providing "money or gifts" including food and drink.

The law mandates that if precincts of a certain substantial size had lines of more than one hour in the previous general election, or did not complete voting by an hour after the official poll-closing time in that previous general election, county officials have to reduce the size of the precinct or get more poll workers, voting equipment or both for the next election.

Wow trying to cut time people are in lines that sounds racist

"Maybe because the only ones forced to wait hours in line are blacks in districts that only have one polling place to vote. What is the wait time to vote in white republican districts?"

Don't belive everything you watch on CNN

Fulton and DeKalb Counties that are all ran by AA officals and have been for decades they are responsible for setting up the polling locations SOOOOOO how are they being Racists by not having enough polling locations????? The state does not dictate that

Please tell us exactly how this law is racist and or suppresses votes?

For starters, it makes it illegal to vote during hours where most people would be working or just getting off of work.

So what is your second point that makes it so Racist?

Under the weekend provisions of the previous law, counties had to open for early voting on only one Saturday during primaries and general elections, from 9 am to 4 pm; Sundays were not mentioned. Under the new law, two Saturdays of early voting are mandatory -- from 9 am to 5 pm at minimum and from 7 am to 7 pm if counties desire -- and two Sundays optional

The old law said early voting had to take place during "normal business hours" on weekdays, leaving counties to decide what counts as "normal."

The new law sets a specific time period, requiring early voting to be offered from 9 am to 5 pm. However, it also says that counties can open early voting as early as 7 am and end as late as 7 pm if they want to. In the 2020 general election, Fulton County, DeKalb County, Clayton County, and various other Democratic strongholds held their early voting hours between 7 am and after 7 pm, so they would not be forced into reductions.

This standardizes the state since each county was doing something different, but really no change

This really Seems Racist huh?????

WaPo Fact-Checkers Slam Biden for Georgia Election Law Claims: ‘Four Pinocchios’

That's not true the Washington Post (a leftist Paper) just said Biden lied

Here's their headline

Biden falsely claims the new Georgia law ‘ends voting hours early’

The president jabs a section of the new Georgia law as “outrageous,” but that provision actually expanded early voting for many residents in the state.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/03/30/biden-falsely-claims-new-georgia-law-ends-voting-hours-early/

I normally ask people to post their thought and not links. But, since this meme suggests that three corporations have specific positions concerning the racist law, here is a link quoting their response and the responses of other corporate leaders: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/31/major-us-companies-take-aim-at-georgias-new-voting-restrictions.https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/31/major-us-companies-take-aim-at-georgias-new-voting-restrictions.html

So what your saying is they dint read the law just the same as you? These CEO's are liberal activists just because they are saying its racist doesn't make it so

LOL quotes from NBC LOL

Tell us why this bill got rushed through the Georgia leg and the governor signed it behind closed doors? Even having a Rep arrested for knocking on the door while he was doing it?

Tell us why they changed the law so that it strips the secretary of state, Georgia’s top elections official, of his seat and his role as chair of the state election board, and endows the state legislature with the power to fill three of that board’s five seats — essentially giving the legislature control over the certification of elections and voting rules in the state.

The new law also empowers the state election board to suspend or replace local election officials and delay certification, making it potentially easier for them to meddle with results. Trump got busted trying to coerce the Georgia sec of state, if you remember, into "finding" him 10,000 votes. The guy refused and now they've taken away his role in the election process.

Biden just signed quite a few executive orders behind locked doors, are those racist?

Last time I checked the Secretary of state was white and a republican???? whats racist there???

The last lie about 10K votes has been disproved as the conversation was recorded and given to the media. Do you even try to stay up to date or just spout off stuff on CNN without thinking for yourself

You're literally too stupid to argue with

On the election replacing local officials it says

A majority of the board would have to decide that the officials demonstrated "nonfeasance, malfeasance, or gross negligence" in at least two elections over a two-year period, or that the county officials committed at least three violations of election law or board regulations in the last two general election cycles and had not "sufficiently remedied" these violations. So they cant just go in one day and say your out

I think you should educate yourself about what Jim Crow Laws really were. BS talking point only.

Obviously you haven't read any of the Law you should delete you're dumb ass Meme and quit making comments that actually make you look even more stupid than you are

People that say this is racist haven't even read the law

The list of major corporations and organizations that oppose this law based on its disproportionate impact on black voters, is too long to suggest that none of their lawyers read it. I have never read the Speed Limit Law. But, I know how fast the state will let me go without getting a ticket by reading the signs. I can read the signs in this case, too. If this law needed changing so badly, why did the racist Republicans wait until record numbers of black voters elected people the extremist did not want to be elected? You don't have to use the "N" word to be a racist.

Again you show your stupidity of the law, no substance just your feelings
