[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then GA should also make voting day a day off so people can go vote. But, they won't because then poor people might vote more.[/quote]

Why?  They have  early voting in GA. Surely, they can find a time that works for them.

Much of Georgia does not have great public transportation, and some areas have none at all. How are poor people without transportation going to get to the polls? [/quote]

Same way they get to the market or to church or to any of the other places they go during their life.  
I am sure Stacey  Abrams' group has transportation available.  If they want to vote, they'll get to the polls.  
I think you underestimate the  resourcefulness  of poor people.  [/quote]

I’ve lived in a poor area of Georgia. You don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s not nothing to do with the resourcefulness of poor people. It’s about putting barriers in place to make it harder for them to vote. It’s about restricting physical access to the polls. It’s about restricting polling locations so that poor people have to travel further to polls and wait hours outside. It’s about removing voter registrations so that people cannot vote when they are at the polling station (this happened to Stacey Abrams). It’s about gerrymandering districts so that the GOP will always win. I could go on. I’d like to know about your experience living and working in these circumstances in Georgia. [/quote]

Republicans know the only way they can win in places like Georgia is by oppressing poor black voters.[/quote]
