One of the things that jumps off the page is the allocation of ballot boxes. Colorado has a box for every 9,400 registered voters while Georgia has one box per 100,000 registered voters.

As I understand it, Texas does one better with one box per county. Never mind the smallest county has A population of 167 vs Harris Cty with 4.7 million people.
Of course CO has more options to place you automatic mail in vote. Why would a comparable number of drop boxes be required in GA?

Obviously, they aren’t and wouldn’t be the same. Georgia is actively trying to limit voter participation, whereas Colorado isn’t. Peter Doocy could have known this in 2 seconds if he looked it up on his phone before putting on display his stupidity for the entire planet to see.

Why do you think GA should have a similar number of drop boxes to CO for future elections??

This regime has lowered the standards beyond recognition. They’re catering to the weak and entitled, giving away the country, free stuff, etc..., that will result in more debt than any President in history, and then some.

Watching Sleepy Joe having a hard time talk, remember, fall up stairs, etc..., proves how low standards really are.

I get what you're saying but the simple answer to Doocy's question is..."Why should the WH be concerned with a private enterprise's business decisions?"

I really don't need any politician "concerned" about any lawful business decision.

In contrast, Jen Psaki calmly explained to Peter Doocy the numerous reasons for which his assertion was incorrect, and really illustrates how doing some honest homework before asking a question could have saved him from looking like a complete, brainless idiot. Such class.
You shouldn't refer to Psaki as a brainless idiot.
