361 voter suppression bills have been introduced in 47 states this year. Prominent in this new era of Jim Crow legislation is Gov. Brian Kemp and the Georgia GOP’s spiteful attempt to keep people of color from the polls. Their efforts have drawn the ire of a nation and even condemnation from the very corporations, whose financial support helped install these politicians in office in the first place.
Okay, I've got to step in here:
Having actually looked at the CONTENT of the bill, and both sides have points regarding what it actually does and there's deeper complexity to it and reasons for why it's done.
For instance, is it actually instates a minimum number of ballot drop boxes per country, provides an additional Saturday of early voting, and demands that voting lines be monitored specifically so if they're so long people are left waiting for hours, to directly provide assistance, either by opening additional precincts or other means to LET people have a chance to vote by relieving the strain.
The banning handing out water and other things within so many feet of poling also has the cavate that people DO use that specifically to try and manipulate people to vote a certain way at the ballot box.
I'm not saying whether I support it or am against it, there is certainly stuff in it that COULD be abused, but both sides have a point and judging it purely on one side is a bad idea.
Known asshats (Aka trump and McCarthy) met in Mar-a-Lago to hatch a plot to ERASE Joe Biden’s Democratic majority in Congress and make McCarthy SPEAKER. Kevin McCarthy will do ANYTHING to keep Trump’s harmful agenda alive and well. That's why we’re ringing the alarm to DEFEAT Republicans like him. this is so CRITICAL that a top donor agreed to REACTIVATE our 3X-Match on ALL donations until midnight TOMORROW!
if you can't donate, spread the word.
