Can we boycott Georgia?

It doesn’t. Dems are just engaging in demagoguery to try to pass HR1.

The Georgia voting law is bad in many ways. The biggest problem is that it shifts power away from officials who acted responsibly amidst false claims of election fraud, and gives final say on election outcomes to legislators who went along with the Big Lie.

Read the article by Stephen Fowler linked in the twitter thread above. He writes for Georgia Public Broadcasting and is pretty much down the middle when reporting.
And, you are right... it expands voting opportunity and provides for mail-in voting. It also codifies things they did for the first time in 2020 that worked and fixed things that didn't (like waiting to count the absentee ballots).

I read the absentee section and the bill reduces the period during which you can request an absentee ballot and return it. It also reduces drop boxes to one per 100,000 active voters (or one per voting site, whichever is smaller) and makes them accessible only when the site is open instead of 24/7. How does that expand voting? Clearly they are trying to make it more difficult to vote absentee.

I saw someone say this law is not in response to voter fraud, it’s in response to voter turnout. That’s what they are trying to suppress.

Thank you.

All the GA law supporters on here - stop trying to lie about this. We’re literate you dumbasses and we see what the law is doing. No Fing question it’s trying to reduce certain kinds of voting. Remember when the GQP tried to overthrow the 2020 election? We get it - you guys don’t like democracy anymore bc you keep losing the popularity contest bc you suck.

I hope all liberals will stay far, far away from the red states. You enjoy California, New York and murder central Chicago.

This is just not true. As most of the crap the left is harping about.....

The text of the thread is below. And, it is taken directly from the law.

I keep seeing people say the GOP is going to allow take overs of county election boards in order to steal elections. If you actually read the law, you'd note that the replacement of a local elections superintendent can only come after two "general election cycles" and
each election cycle must generate 3 complaints that are verified as true by an independent review and that the local superintendent has not fixed the problems that caused those complaints and
the replacement can last no more than 9 months and the state can replace no more than four superintendents in a given a period.
The distortion is akin to people who blast Georgia for cleaning up its election rolls when the reality is the state can only remove people from the rolls if they are dead, declared incompetent, moved, guilty of a felony, or have not voted in seven years.
You'd never know any of that from the way people talk about Georgia's election laws because they have power in the lie.

You have 11 weeks to request a ballot. That is nearly 3 months. If voting is important to you, you can find the time within 11 weeks to request a ballot.
2020 was the first time ever GA used drop boxes. They are trying to tighten up the process so that people don't do ballot harvesting, which is not legal. I don't blame them for doing this.
The good thing about GA's law is it codifies the use of ballot boxes. It also requires all counties to have at least one. Some of them had none in 2020.

Clearly you have too much time on your hands. Have you considered moving out of mom's basement and getting a job?

Ignore pp.
She is upset that every damn complaint they come up with regarding the GA law is shut down with facts that refute their nonsense.
Add to that - there are blue states with more restrictive rules that don't seem to bother them. Somehow, these states are not suppressing the vote in their opinion. Go figure.
