Recounts aren't audits of the process, signatures or diagnostic of voting machines.

and you don't find anything about the left hypocritical or funny? the grandfather of mass incarceration of black people and breaking black families apart calling Georgia Jim Crow on steroids. The same sellout that sold us to China and got rich from China calling this Jim Crow on steroids and everybody on the left buys it? I'm sure many blue states had the same thing about "F" Trump. This has been going on for 4 years but I guess you don't find them funny or hypocritical. You are part of them.

So you don't have a problem with the snowflakes complaining in the first place and protesting, demanding, boycotts and people get to fired but if the right complains about the Woke and PC culture then they are the babies? LMAO! Nice spin.

Just so I'm clear, are you saying that you support a second civil war, if that's what it takes to keep Minority Republicans in office in Georgia? It's clear that's what the Governor wants, do you support his "at any cost" methods?

Don't you find that odd?
No, I don’t find it odd. Whether it happened or not, I understand where the concern is coming from. And, hopefully laws like just passed in Georgia will help alleviate some of those concerns in the future. My state automatically reviews every election to see if changes need to be made, matter of fact some changes were made after this year, and we haven’t had questionable results in my memory. There is nothing wrong with proactively addressing policies that impact the sanctity of elections. The populous - that includes you and the 40+% who have different political views than you - must be able to trust the validity of the results. That did not happen this election.

You're making impossible comparisons.

The majority of Americans and majorities in both parties support Voter ID Laws. But the Dems just want them to be fair and equal. The Georgia laws are about the true voter fraud that has been going on for decades. Not imaginary fake votes that never happened, but the active suppression of specific segments of the population. THAT is the real fraud that is happening, and I applaud MLB, Coke and Delta for standing up to it. It may cost them in the short run, but I do believe history will be on their side when it's all said and done. You can't keep pushing people down and expect no repurcussions. Georgia will eventually come around, and I also believe the GOP will one day get back to their core values of smaller government, fiscal responsibility, and pro-business. It's odd to me that the Dems (with their HORRIBLE track record, both recently and over history) are now the ones that do a better job espousing these values than the party that actually claims them.

Don't you find that odd?
You're wrong. Validity cannot be verified for the 460,000+ GA absentee ballots on which the legally required chain of custody documents are missing (or don't even exist). Again, this was a problem at the county election officials level, which is just one of the many reasons the GA Legislature had to reassert their US Constitutional jurisdiction over GA's federal election process.

Do you believe your own B.S.? there is nothing repressive about the new law.

When I think about some people claiming they would boycott MLB, I thought "fine, more tickets for me". For those that will boycott, here is a question: Why should I boycott MLB?

I will ask you what I asked an earlier poster and received crickets in response. What in the Georgia law - the actual law, not the lies told about it - are suppressing voters?
  • Is it the 17 early voting days?
  • Is it mandating Saturday early voting days?
  • Is it the codifying of drop boxes to be placed in every county?
  • Is it establishing the mandatory MINIMUM opening hours during early voting of 9-5, with provisions to be open 7 am - 7 pm at county discretion?
  • Is it providing free IDs at county DMVs and election offices?
  • Is it creating a panel to investigate election officials who commit malfeasance TWO elections in a row, such as those god awful 3-8 hour lines?
So, what is suppressing the vote?

I think it's priceless when the lefties' cancel/boycott culture comes back to bite them in the butt, like it's doing now with the local, heavily minority community losing $100+ million in economic benefits because the MLB pulled the ASG out of Atlanta. Comical, in a sad "didn't you stop even for a split second to think about the obvious consequences" sort of way. What a bunch of idiots.
