[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, just to recap:  if (mainly white) voters in Buckhead wait four or more hours to vote, that’s simply due to high voter turnout.  If (mainly black) voters wait four or more hours to vote, that’s suppression.  Interesting.  [/quote]

No. If there is higher turnout than expected and voters in Buckhead and predominantly minority neighborhoods in other Atlanta suburbs have four hour waits, that is ridiculous in a first world country but not active suppression. If the Buckhead voter has no line and her minority counterparts have a four hour line at the same time, that is suppression. This isn’t rocket science. [/quote]

Sure, but that hasn’t happened this election.  Lines to vote ACROSS Georgia were hours long, regardless.  Yet you claim certain neighborhoods (black) were having their votes suppressed while others  (white) - with equally long lines - weren’t.

Face it, you are making things up.  Not a good look.[/quote]

God you're stupid. The waiting in and of itself is not what makes it voter suppression. The (documented, factual reality) discrepancy in wait times and accessibility to voting machines in minority districts vs. white districts IS THE ISSUE. You can post all the photos of white people waiting in line that you want. It does not change the demonstrable fact that POC wait significantly longer to vote in this country, and that it is BY DESIGN.[/quote]
