None of this even matters, because the bloom is off the rose in Georgia, which just had its slowest rate of population growth in a decade since the 1950s. In fact, Georgia doesn't even rank in the top 10 for population growth percentage anymore. It ranked 8th in the 1980s, 6th in the 1990s and 7th in the 2000s, but only 13th in the 2010s.

Seriously, in 2019, Georgia had net negative migration with Arizona, Colorado, the District of Columbia, Florida, Idaho, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Vermont and West Virginia. It's not the 1990s anymore.

As for election protocols, Florida has twice as many people as Georgia, but they can get all their votes counted in four hours, whereas Georgia needed what, three weeks? Remember when Florida was the laughingstock of the U.S. for their inability to properly count votes? It's not the 2000s anymore either.

People at other countries are also laughing at how difficult we try to make it for POC to vote by eliminating voting places in neighborhoods where POC live.

People in other countries are also laughing at us refusing to do anything about thousands of people dying from gun violence. Most in any developed country.

They also laugh at us for for electing Trump

They laugh at us having more prisoners per capita than almost any other nation.

They laugh us at having more executions than anybody other than Saudi Arabia and Russia, I think.

They also laugh at us for not allowing water while waiting to vote.

They also laugh at us for not having good public transport.

They also laugh at us for not knowing foreign languages.

They laugh at us for spending all that money on the military.

of all the things they laugh at us about, voting ID laws will probably not crack the top 100.

Sure!! Glad you asked. GA and other southern states have actively been closing polling locations in black areas and poor neighborhoods while leaving wealthy and white areas untouched.

Now that you know, how does that information change your view?

Winning an election has long been about driving turnout, that is to say, getting the people who like you to bother to show up to vote. That's is one of the many reasons why it has long been against the law to give away anything at a polling place.

Here is what will happen if food and drink is allowed.

Thulsa Doom's BBQ will host every weekend before the election a political rally for some favored candidates. Everyone will be made to know that on election day Thulsa Doom's BBQ will be handing out free BBQ sandwiches and ice cold Coca-Cola to people standing in line.
Even if the line is only 10 minutes long, you'll get a sandwich. You can just grab one as you walk in, or even as you walk out, or wait for us to bring you one in line.

Oh, and by-the-way, we will only be doing that in precincts where "our kind" of people will be voting.

Thulsa isn't going to put anybody's name on the sandwiches or the food trucks, and there will be no candidates mentioned in any way at the polling place, but I can guarantee you everyone will know what is expected.
And this will cost way less than what the deluge of TV advertisements costs.

Do you really want voting to become even more of a contest of who has the most money to spend on voters?

Blue states like NJ, Virginia, and California also require voter ID. They too must be guided by Jim Crow.

True, sad how they believe people of color don’t know how to use the internet, register to vote, and obtain an ID. After all, the Democrat party is the party of slavery, segregation, racism, KKK, and Jim Crow.

Most gun violence is from suicide and inner city gang related violence. Suicide makes up over 60% of all gun related deaths in the United States. The defense makes up a small percentage of our spending. I don’t think any nation is laughing that we have a small military. What our enemies are laughing at is how our military is becoming woke and feminized while their military is more masculine. Social Security and Medicare make up the bulk of the spending budget. Shall I continue how your post is moronic and based in non-truths?

Democrats consistently insisting blacks are incapable of securing ID’s is one of the most offensive things ever. It’s one reason I am getting further and further away from the party. Biden’s statement about computers/internet was the last straw for me on this issue. Extremely tone deaf and offensive.

It was the party of white racist southerners. Do those people still vote Democratic? If not, what would your guess be as to why that is?

Ok lets stay on this specific Georgia bill. Everything in this specific GA bill will be applied to all Georgia voters regardless of race.

Yes. Now take a step further. when you have multiple voting stations in your wealthy white neighborhood, you don’t need to worry about waiting in line for hours, not having ballot drop off locations, or your friend not being able to drop you off McDonalds while you are waiting three hours to vote. You just roll in and you vote. So none of these things are an issue to you.

However, they become an issue when you have a single polling station for thousands of people.

Your question is akin to “let them just eat cake”. History is littered with examples of laws that “apply to everyone” but are proven to be discriminatory. Poll tax, losing your DL for unpaid parking tickets, etc.

Basically, imagine if Democrats passed a law that said “everyone who wants to vote needs to register in person in Atlanta.” Sure. The law applies equally to everyone. But the burden is a lot different for those who live in Atlanta and those who live in Savannah and need to drive 4 hours in each direction. That law would be fairly discriminatory to rural white voters and I can’t even imagine the outrage and the cries of victimhood.

This is what this law does.
