BlogMyth vs. Fact: The Georgia E******n Law

The Left and their media allies have used the new Georgia e******n law (SB 202) signed into law last week as a pretext for their e******n takeover with HR. 1, leaning heavily on misconceptions, half-t***hs, and flat-out lies about the bill to make their case for a massive federal takeover of state e******n systems. Here are the facts:

Myth 1: The Georgia e******n law discourages v****g/suppresses v**es

FACT: The bill actually preserves or expands b****t access in several important ways: It requires that large precincts with lines more than an hour long take steps like adding v****g machines and e******n personnel for the next e******n to reduce wait times. It does not change the number of total early v****g days, and actually increases the mandatory days of early weekend v****g. Compared to 2020, 134 of 159 counties will offer more early v****g hours in future e******ns under the new law. It codifies e******n drop boxes, which did not exist prior to 2020. V**ers can continue to v**e absentee with no excuse(unlike states like Delaware, New York, and Connecticut, which require an excuse to v**e absentee).

Myth 2: The Georgia law eliminates v****g on Sunday to suppress African-American v**es

FACT: Georgia law was silent on Sunday early v****g days prior to SB 202, and in 2020 only 16 of 159 counties offered early v****g on Sundays. The new law explicitly provides the option of holding early v****g on two Sundays for all localities. It actually increases the mandatory days of early weekend v****g across the state.

Myth 3: The Georgia e******n law suppresses the v**e with onerous v**er ID requirements

FACT: The law requires a driver’s license or free state ID number, which 97% of registered v**ers already have. Anyone without a valid ID can easily obtain one for free. The v**er ID requirement replaces the state’s controversial signature match program that led to the disqualification of thousands of v**es in 2020.

The law’s v**er ID requirement for absentee b****ts is overwhelmingly popular in Georgia across the board. According to an AJC poll in January, 74% of Georgia v**ers support it, including 63% of black v**ers, and 89% of those making under $25K/year.

Myth 4: The bill eliminates drop boxes for absentee v****g

FACT: The drop boxes used in the last e******n did not exist a year ago. They were first utilized in 2020 as a p******c precaution. This bill makes them an official part of Georgia e******ns, and they will be available in all 159 counties in Georgia and under supervision to protect against tampering.

Myth 5: The bill lets Republicans throw out any county v**es they don’t agree with

FACT: The bipartisan State E******n Board can do performance reviews of local e******n supervisors who fail their area’s v**ers with things like long lines and unfulfilled absentee b****t requests. The board will not overturn e******n results; the law simply provides a process to review and ensure officials are technically competent and complying with state laws and regulations . This process requires a high burden of proof over multiple e******ns, and the State E******ns Board may only suspend up to four e******n supervisors at any given time, which guards against using this process to try to influence e******n outcomes.

Myth 6: The bill bans drinking water for v**ers while waiting in line

FACT: Like the countless other states that have very specific laws against e******neering near polling places, Georgia has codified rules preventing political groups from handing out food or water to v**ers in line as an incentive to v**e, but specifically allows poll workers to make water available to anyone who wants it. The law will also directly cut down wait times, meaning refreshment for people waiting in line will be less necessary.

What's the point in them when someone like Trump can lie about v***r f***d and every conservative instantly believes him? And don't call other people stupid when every one of you cons fell for Trump's BIG LIE and most of you still believe that Democrats are able to c***t with impunity. And why are you conservatives eliminating v**er precincts when we should be opening up more and making it even easier to v**e? You seem to take the approach that v****g should be a punishment where people can't eat or drink and lines should be as long as possible...at least in minority districts that is.

So is a photo ID r****t? Not in itself but you are a people who back the police's murder of b****s. You want walls built to stop, primarily, Hispanics from entering this country. When a black man kneels at a football game you howel in protest about his patriotism then say nary a word as a white man carries the stars and bars through our Capitol building. Since everything that you do and say is targeted at minorities the question of your r****m is answered by how you behave. Don't ask me if you are a r****t. Stop acting like one so I will know!

The laws as passed need no explanation.
The are R****t. Not a little bit R****t but
Magnanimous R****t.
And also against the law. No one person has a right to deter any one person from v****g. It’s the Law.
Ridiculous, illegal, r****t targeting one group of people.( not white )
The Republican Party has proven they are not the majority never will be the majority
Without Lying C***ting And Stealing.
So now you know, if you v**e fir a Republican you’ve been warned they will Lie C***t and Steal to accomplish any goal they’re after.
This is the precedent set in stone already.
Republicans are Liars by their very own nature.
If you v**e for them you are either very rich or very stupid.
It as they said in the past
There are only two types of republicans.
Millionaires and Fools !

Milosia2, your post is most curious, citing the conservative platform of the Libertarian Party and its Vice P**********l candidate, David Koch. Surely many strict Constitutionalists would champion reducing the size of our dysfunctional government by eliminating most of the 600(+) bureaucracies.

I'd prefer privatizing the bureaucracies and let Congressmen and the Courts consulting them on an as-needed-basis. Consumer oversite and class action lawsuits are far more effective in controlling the market-place and would end the revolving door of corporate cronyism and bureaucratic corruption. For example:

* How do you explain Ortho's Round-up, chalk full of PCBs and cancer causing toxins having remained on the market since the 1960s through 2020 with no effective oversight from the FDA, EPA, USDA, or CDC and HHS over the past 60 years?

* How do you explain the crisis of Johnson & Johnson marketing Levaquin as a stronger antibiotic, k*****g hundreds and crippling thousands as patients' blood vessels burst and their tendons and flesh detach from their bones?

* Where was the government bureaucratic oversight of the so-called "experts" that you place on such a high pedestal?

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Larry Klayman, counsel for individual plaintiffs who were seriously harmed by the dangerous drug Levaquin, brought suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia alleging violations of the Racketeering and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO"), the Lanham Act, and a variety of common law torts.
http://www.larryklayman.com/pdf/160119-Final Filed Levaquin Complaint .pdf

According to Klayman, "Obama administration appointee, former FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg, is at the heart of this scandal, and her husband Peter Brown, co-CEO of Renaissance Technologies, L.L.C., a major New York hedge fund. While Dr. Hamburg was head of the FDA, her husband profited enormously from as much as half a billion dollars in Johnson & Johnson stock, the maker of Levaquin, held by Renaissance Technologies."

Levaquin is a drug intended to treat a range of infections, including routine sinus, skin and urinary tract infections.

The complaint alleges Dr. Hamburg and her husband and others at Renaissance Technologies, L.L.C., conspired with Johnson & Johnson and other defendants to suppress information about Levaquin's harmful effects. "To reveal it would have not only harmed Johnson & Johnson's profits, but invite significant lawsuits, driving Johnson & Johnson stock price downward, thereby financially harming Dr. Hamburg, her husband and Renaissance Technologies' profits. Plaintiffs were unwitting victims, suffering from a variety of medical conditions, some of which were just recently disclosed at an FDA Advisory Committee Hearing November 5, 2015.

The complaint can be found at www.larryklayman.com and its allegations speak for themselves.

Klayman called it "a major scandal affecting the health plaintiffs and thousands of others. Defendants allegedly reaped large financial gains and profits at the expense of my clients. The entire sad episode exemplifies how some in private industry allegedly conspire and act with Washington D.C. public officials to greedily line their pockets, leaving everyone else to be damned."

"The complaint asks for millions of dollars in damages and justice," said Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, and a former federal prosecutor who, during his tenure at the U.S. Department of Justice, not coincidentally prosecuted on behalf of the Food and Drug Administration and other federal agencies, as well as serving on the trial team that, in a landmark antitrust case, broke up the monopoly of AT&T.

Some things never change, Pete. Such as your twisting of facts to make them seem to back your position. Nobody is trying to make v****g a punishment. That's ridiculous. They are simply trying to keep c***ters from further c***ting, which they demonstrably will do if given the opportunity. Of course people haven't been prevented from eating or drinking in lines. The goal is to prevent partisan e******neering from taking place within a certain distance from the polls. The water can be provided, just not by people wearing MAGA hats or B*M shirts. Those distances have been in effect for as long as I have been v****g which is longer than you have. Patriots don't want ANYBODY to kneel during the National Anthem, black, white or any race. They have always tried to maintain that Americans honor our f**g. Remember years ago when people wielding "Black Power' shirts tried to intimidate v**ers in various cities. There's more proof of v***r f***d than we could cover in 500 pages but l*****ts just continue to turn their heads and deny, deny, deny. It's the old saying that if a lie is repeated often enough it will be believed by more and more people.
