You are missing that in some states, people who have voted for their entire adult lives now cannot vote because they don’t have ID that matches current requirements.
These states are effectively taking away the right of many to vote.
Voting is a privilege of citizens.... Not a right of people.
Voting can be taken away from a citizen... Rights cannot be taken by government, only privileges can.
No line standing zombies here. We have better things to do with lives than stand in line for 6 hours to vote. Election judges match signature on ballot with signature on file. You can get fake ids, but try to forge a random person's signature.
So in standing up for minorities, the MLB relocates the All-Star Game from a city that is 51% Black to a city that is 76% White.
This is a protest against the Georgia election law which the left deems racist, and some within the left may approve as Georgia is (still) a red state while Colorado has gone blue.
However, Georgia has many more nonwhites than Colorado. Atlanta's population is 51% black, while Denver is more than 75% white with not even 10% of its residents black.
The game's departure from Atlanta and Georgia will cost the Peach State a lot of money, with estimates of about $100m gone. That's money that black employees working at the All-Star Game could have but not will not make. Now, that money is going to a jurisdiction whose demographics are overwhelmingly white.
Sure, one can argue that the employees at All-Star Games - concession stands, ticket booths, parking lot attendants, and such - tend to be minorities. Point taken. But the overall economic impact would not be restricted to wages gained by people doing such jobs on game day. Atlanta and Georgia lose - and so do many of the millions of black Americans, most of whom are law-abiding, decent, and good people.
I thought the left and the Democratic Party cared about people of color. I'm upset I was wrong, because now those black Atlantans will be worse off thanks to the leftist ideology that MLB has acquiesced to.
The pot state or one of the first. Yep I see mustering up enough energy to drive or walk to a polling location once or twice a year could be an issue. Life's too hard it shouldn't be this way cry cry sniff sniff.
People who make this distinction are missing an essential point.
People provide the required ID when they register.
Their registration is in effect for as long as they are voters.
If they registered at a time when only a social security number was required, they are registered to vote.
They do not need to jump through hoops to get additional ID to vote.
As long as their signature can be verified, their vote counts.
The end.
"As long as their signature can be verified, their vote counts." So if the signature doesn't match to county employees it doesn't count. Isn't that controversial on itself? Georgia got rid of that and it's just I.D. (which 97% of registered voters already have) so every vote counts regardless how you sign your name which signatures could change with age or illness.
Georgia Laws of straight I.D. on the form is way better than signature match. Do Airlines choose signature match over I.D. to board their multi-million dollar planes and the safety of everyone on board?
OP here, I said nothing about race. If I had to stand in line for 6 hours, I might give up. My feet hurt. Maybe that is the point of the line standing requirement.
Colorado somehow manages 100% mail-in ballots. If the Stone Mountain Slavery Monument State can’t figure it out, then that is their problem. Take your lawn chairs and watch the slavery laser light show.
