That being said I hope you will access these sites to educate and inform yourself regarding the reasons voter ID laws deprive many voters of their right to vote, reduce participation, and stand in direct opposition to our country’s trend of including more Americans in the democratic process.

But ID laws, like showing your drivers license to a poll working before getting your ballot to vote is well accepted in Oklahoma as well as a bunch of other states. It seems to work. Republicans in Oklahoma blamed vote fraud on why Medicaid expansion barely passed, but it was decided not to recount the vote.

But Carlson on Fox News said that was to try to stop electioneering by people representing political organizations. Electioneering outside voting locations is likely already illegal in many states. But it would be okay for just friends and relatives to bring you food and drink, while waiting in line to vote.

Woke = empathetic...being woke is a good thing.

You can bring your own water.

You can get water from a poll worker.

You can use an app that shows voting times so you can go when there isn’t a line.

You can submit an absentee ballot.

If you don’t have ID you can get one for free in Georgia.

MLB is responding to misinformation about the Georgia law.

All Georgia voters can have water.

Love The MLB for this. I was on the fence about paying $200 for a Fernando Tatis Jersey but not anymore.
Lets Send the state of Georgia and every other state that wants to use voter suppression a message.

Maybe at one time Georgia might have been like Oklahoma in offering Hollywood film/TV companies huge tax incentives to produce movies and TV shows in the state.

But with the Film/TV production industry in the state really taking off into the stratosphere during the last decade to the point that Georgia reportedly ranks either 1 or 2 on the planet (along with California) in the number of movies and TV shows produced in the state, Georgia is not quite like Oklahoma anymore.

Since the State of Georgia started its Film/TV production tax credit program in the very late 2000’s (circa 2008-2009), the Film/TV production industry has really become an economic and PR force within the state.

The Film/TV industry has really helped to bring much economic opportunity to less economically advantaged parts of the Atlanta metropolitan area (including the traditionally less economically advantaged south half of the Atlanta metro area).

Numerous film studios have popped up throughout the Atlanta metro, including major film production complexes like Trilith Studios (formerly Pinewood Atlanta Studios), Tyler Perry Studios, Areu Brothers Studios, Blackhall Studios, Blackhall Studios East, Eagle Rock Studios, etc.

The film and TV production industry has grown to be so massively huge in Georgia that there seems to be much more demand for film studio space than there is supply in the Atlanta metropolitan area, with the construction of a massive new film/TV studio complex just being announced a few days ago on Atlanta’s Northside.

Gray Television plans to buy Doraville's Assembly, create film and entertainment hub (City-Data Atlanta Forum)

UPDATE: Doraville approves plans for old GM plant to become state's largest studio

Nothing to do with empathy nor altruism. It is just Fascist, Control Freak Oppression.
