Washington Post found a new tack to trash the Georgia election law

Washington Post‘s Phillip Bump concluded in an analysis of the Georgia law that it cannot be considered separate and apart from Governor Kemp’s motivation.

Bump says Donald Trump and his followers falsely claimed Georgia’s election was fraudulent. He said that is the unreasonable motivation for addressing this issue.

“In Georgia,”, he said, “there is no rational motivation for the passage of its new election law other than demonstrating fealty to the false claims elevated by Trump. Why did Raffensperger need to be replaced on the elections board now? Why did the rules governing absentee applications need to be tightened now, only a few months after an election in which repeated review and extensive scrutiny showed no improprieties had occurred?”

Since they can’t say the Georgia law is Jim Crow 2.0, this seems to be the new rationale.

The reason the laws need to be changed is the laws were changed to favor Joe Biden at the last possible moment. And it was done at the expense of the Constitution and secure voting.

Mail-in voting is notoriously open to fraud, and it was set up without any voter ID requirements.

Then there is the problem of endless, unofficial drop boxes without a chain of custody. That’s also addressed in the new law.

The law does not make it harder for anyone to vote unless they are illegitimate voters.

RAFFENSPERGER, ONE SHADY SECRETARY OF STATE

Then there is Raffensperger, who notoriously and unilaterally signed a deal unnecessarily with partisan Stacey Abrams.

Stacey Abrams’ organization Fair Fight pushed through legislation that compelled Georgia to accept email absentee ballot applications. In addition, the verification process in the email ballot applications was weakened. They did it through a lawsuit settlement with Raffensperger.

The Democratic Party also demanded absurdly complicated procedures to reject a ballot because of voter signature discrepancies. This together with the massive increase in absentee ballots created a situation where ballot applications and ballots were just not verified.

The lawsuit settlement in March required more thorough procedures before election officials can reject a ballot because of voter signature discrepancies. The settlement stipulates that a majority of the county officials reviewing the absentee ballots must not only agree that the signatures don’t match but that they also must compare the signature with all the signatures that they have on file.

Raffensperger also released part of a taped conversation he had with then-President Trump that made it appear as if DJT was asking him to find fraudulent votes. In fact, he was asking him to look for legitimate votes.

Now, after a judge said he would allow a full audit of Fulton County ballots, Raffensperger filed a motion to keep the actual ballots out of the audit. Why?

Bump doesn’t think the Georgia legislature should have the power over Raffensperger as this new law requires. Why? Why should one man have the power instead?

I don’t see how there can be doubt in anyone’s mind that the reason the Democrat/Socialists constantly harp about good and sound Voter Laws is because they can’t cheat with them! That’s why they sneaked around the country just a few months before the 2020 Nov 3rd Election and got willing and/or corrupt judges to change the Voter laws to their liking. They made it where no ballot could be verified, thus opening up their ability to turn in millions of fake ballots, and allowed 5-6 extra days to count ballots so they could track Trump’s vote numbers and outvote him by adding more fake ballots as needed.
We knew what they were doing. They weren’t fooling anybody. Their cheating was actually verified by them acting like rabid dogs at the mere mention of auditing any of the ballots or precincts. You don’t act like that if you’ve got nothing to hide, instead you’d welcome proving your opponent wrong.
The Weak and Meek Republican Leaders knew this too, but apparently in trying to avoid the Radical Left’s wrath and “punishment”, they sat there in silence and let them get by with cheating us—which has led to the mess we’re now in with this dangerous Radical Totalitarian Regime thats in power. There is nothing pretty about Communism-we’re all going to suffer from it as the masses sink into poverty, lawlessness, & death and the few elite billionaires at the top lord over us. America is going fast…

Back in 1994, Most people felt that America was headed in the wrong direction and the Contract with America took back the House. Clinton would have lost if Perot didn’t run. In 2010 people again thought the country was headed in the wrong direction and the TEA Party took control of the House. 0bama only won because the RINO Romney was seen as worse than 0bama. Hillary lost in 2016 because a majority saw America headed in the wrong direction Today, on every issue for Democrats, 2/3s to 3/4s of America disagree with Democrats. If Democrats win any seat in America in 2022, then there was probably election fraud involved.

Trump’s popularity will get a bump courtesy of CPUSA comrade Bump as the society degenerates into a total chump that makes someone like Forrest Gump not look like such a hump. Hee har! I amused myself and morale is better but it could be the hazelnut smell coming from the capitalist pig coffee maker that is chock full of white privilege with a white (racist!) coffee filter.

O/T-Regarding the Bezos Compost, Repurposing Czar esteemed CPUSA comrade kommissar Barnie Sandlers is making rumblings about the obscene wealth of enlightened evolved lightworker utopia building being Bezos.
Sandlers is about to learn about end of empire crony capitalism and will have to settle with a red sports car with sporty hammer and sickle trim.

When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes…Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain.

Do you know how unbelievably sick you are? Your only hope is to immediately move to a nation under complete Communist control, say like China or North Korea, where your comradery can be shared. And America would have one less traitor.
