@Mott-The-Hoople
Tell me how making a felony of folks just giving water to voters standing in line NOT voter suppression? Or lowering the hours you can vote, gee, they REALLY want your votes, well REPUB votes, SCREW the dems. If you had more than half a brain you would see where the lowering of hours is in the majority black areas and no such action in whitey town.
But of course you will just come back with more spam and trolling BS.

@sonhouse saidFirst of all it's not a felony, it's a misdemeanor, and second you can give your friends or family a bottle of water when they are standing in line, you just can't be representing a party and handing out food and water as a gift to try to persuade voters.

@dood111 saidDon't fall for the Sonhouse Gambit. Let us ask him to answer the question of Mott.

Need it be repeated for the broken-record Sonhouse?

@averagejoe1 saideasy...dont hit 'em so hard. They are waiting to see what CNN says about it.
Could you, too, step aside and let us wait out the Sonhhouse answer?. Your comment here, as well, has nothing to do with Mott's question. You may be the worst offender of changing or ignoring a thread subject.

@mott-the-hoople saidYes, they do disappear, maybe off to a Duches (sic) post, when they are pretty much bested. They will NOT answer this straight out. Bunch of women at a bridge party.
easy...dont hit 'em so hard. They are waiting to see what CNN says about it.

@mott-the-hoople saidEasy:
can anyone explain how voter ID is “supression”?
" The study found that five percent of Texans didn't have a form of ID that would allow them to vote under the current law.
"Of those who don't have IDs, minority voters, particularly African-Americans, were less likely to possess a photo ID," Hersh says.
He says that Latinos were less likely to have ID than whites, but more likely than African-Americans to have one."

@dood111 saidThe law makes no such exception:
First of all it's not a felony, it's a misdemeanor, and second you can give your friends or family a bottle of water when they are standing in line, you just can't be representing a party and handing out food and water as a gift to try to persuade voters.
"nor shall any person give, offer to give, or participate in the giving of any money or gifts, including, but not limited to, food and drink, to an elector ............................. (1) Within 150 feet of the outer edge of any building within which a polling place is established; (2) Within any polling place; or (3) Within 25 feet of any voter standing in line to vote at any polling place.

@dood111 said"Georgia has cut by more than half the period during which voters may request an absentee ballot, from nearly six months before an election to less than three."
Once again, another lie by the dems and media that everybody is accepting as fact. The new law does NOT lower the amount of time .
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/02/us/politics/georgia-voting-law-annotated.html#link-23d5f90c
As far as polling places:
"Since the U.S. Supreme Court's Shelby v. Holder decision in 2013 eliminated key federal oversight of election decisions in states with histories of discrimination, Georgia's voter rolls have grown by nearly 2 million people, yet polling locations have been cut statewide by nearly 10%, according to an analysis of state and local records by Georgia Public Broadcasting and ProPublica. Much of the growth has been fueled by younger, nonwhite voters, especially in nine metro Atlanta counties, where four out of five new voters were nonwhite, according to the Georgia secretary of state's office.
The metro Atlanta area has been hit particularly hard. The nine counties — Fulton, Gwinnett, Forsyth, DeKalb, Cobb, Hall, Cherokee, Henry and Clayton — have nearly half of the state's active voters but only 38% of the polling places, according to the analysis."

Why don't you just admit what is obvious; that the GOP is doing everything in its power to discourage POC from voting?
@no1marauder saidYou left out the opening part of the law, no doubt because that's what CNN or whatever told you. Here's the beginning of the passage:
The law makes no such exception:
"nor shall any person give, offer to give, or participate in the giving of any money or gifts, including, but not limited to, food and drink, to an elector ............................. (1) Within 150 feet of the outer edge of any building within which a polling place is established; (2) Within any polling place; or (3) Within 25 feet ...[text shortened]... "

(a) No person SHALL SOLICIT VOTES in any manner or by any means or method.
Then it goes on to describe water, sammiches, etc as being forbidden to being given out in return for votes.
