Governor Kemp just signed a perfectly reasonable election integrity law that requires photo ID for absentee ballots, fewer drop boxes that will be kept indoors and monitored, and expanding in-person voting. For that, he was hit with a federal lawsuit.
The photo ID for absentee ballots will prevent ballot harvesting.
Also, and this is a big one, cities and counties must keep counting votes non-stop once the polls close. No more burst pipes to interrupt counting.
These are all common sense fixes, but Democrats are infuriated. Democrats are on their way to enshrining voter fraud into law with HR-1/S-1.
The companion bills will not supersede state law and right now, quite a few states are considering similar laws to Georgia’s.
THUS THE LAWSUITS
The Hill reports that voting rights groups [Democrat operatives] on Thursday night filed a lawsuit just hours after Georgia enacted the law.
The 35-page complaint filed in federal court in Atlanta alleges that minority voters will be hit especially hard by the new legislation. They are using the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to accuse the Governor and legislature of suppressing voters’ rights.
It’s absurd. The law is perfectly reasonable.
According to the lawsuit, the new restrictions are “clearly intended to and will have the effect of making it harder for lawful Georgia voters to participate in the State’s elections,” adding that it will impose “unjustifiable burdens” that disproportionately impact people of color, as well as young, poor and disabled voters.
“…disproportionately impact people of color…” This is the same garbage Democrats always spew about any law designed to protect the integrity of our election process. They say it so often it almost sounds racist. It’s as if they are saying that ‘people of color’ are less capable of doing things that white people can do, like getting an ID and bringing it when they vote, or applying on time for an absentee ballot.
President Trump praised the governor for tightening up the laws, but this comes as HR-1/S-1 is nearing a vote in the Senate. It has already been passed in the House.
Democrats want to burn up the Constitution, election integrity, and the Republican Party. They want all the power all the time.
This is a states rights issue. The courts will(hopefully) toss this lawsuit.
The DemocRATS won this last election with massive fraud so they are not going to give that up. We will never have fair elections as long as DemocRATS are around.
Apparently, according to democrats, black people are either to stupid or to lazy to get the ID we are all required by law to have
The Negro is a carcass of ignorance and stupidity. They complain about the right of Republicans to govern because they vote entirely for Democrats. If they cannot get an ID that’s their problem. They are culturally illiterate, lack a sense of history, blame white people for their problems, elect minstrel show and vaudeville performers to Congress, have high levels of… Read more »
Also should be included on ANY ballot. Two thumb prints right and left hand not blurred. So this can be validated via machine to see if 1. they voted twice, 2, they are alive, 3 they are in the area where they should have voted, 4. and if they voted twice or in two states, min fine is $100,000.00 per… Read more »
The left will say the same thing in perpetuity simply because it worked once. Same lies. It may have been true in the 1970’s that blacks had a hard time getting a photo ID or that the elderly and infirm had some difficulty but that is no longer the case and hasn’t been for decades. Photo IDs are free and… Read more »
