Department of Justice sues Georgia over voting law

[Xzi]

And why do so many people seem to think it is a good idea to make it harder and physically taxing on people to vote?

Because high voter turnout favors Democrats. Republicans have been shamelessly arguing as much in court: that they cannot win without suppressing turnout by resorting to dirty tactics. They can't win in a true democracy, which is why they're rejecting it altogether in favor of authoritarianism. Of course, there's always the option of altering their policy platforms to make them more popular, but we're way past the point of them giving up on that idea.

lol like what you did there... as the quote clearly states shows your idea...
“a lot of people out there … are too lazy to get up and get out there and get the ID they need.” - Daryl Metcalfe, Republican member of Pennsylvania’s House of Representatives

Well, he's right. Regardless of the laws about half of the USA didn't vote in the last Presidential Election and they didn't vote because they were too lazy or didn't care to vote. That has nothing to do with the laws or the majority or minority. Some people just don't give a fuck and there's no laws you could write or get rid of that would change that.

Lots of people here only ever learned a whitewashed version of US history, which is why they're willing to support Jim Crow laws in the modern day.

Only in a few specific dumbass red states that wouldn't have made any difference in the last election's outcome, sorry.

Not to mention Republicans will make sure that Puerto Ricans never get to vote, but by now I'm sure you've got plenty of experience with cutting off your nose to spite your face.

it's not the ID that people are mad about...it's the fact that Georgia partisan state goverment can replace people and have it sway their favor. It's the fact that they took away power from the one person (Secretary of State) and giving it to the state legistlature to review or kick out results that they don't see fit for the excuse of "malfeasance" because they're making sure they can overturn 2024 if it doesn't go their way

Also let's not forget that the Texas AG bragged that he suppressed the vote in TX to stop Texas from going blue in 2020

Not sure why you come here to lie

The ones that have power over elections in a state are not the AG it is the state legislature

If states like PA decided to give that power to their AG that's on them and last time i check they were trying to get that power back.

Article I, Section 4, Clause 1: nowhere it says the AG are the ones to say how elections are done

So yes the State legislature does have the power to review an election and if they feel is BS they could do something about it.

Now congress also has a say.

This isn't about requiring ID to vote, and that's evidenced by Republicans consistently excluding types of ID that likely Democratic voters have (student ID, etc.). This is about making it harder to vote for likely Democratic voters.

Your claim is misleading. The Texas AG stopped the State from sending out ballots to every registered voter due to COVID, but that doesn't matter because nothing changed from before COVID or after. It would have been a stupid idea to send out ballots to every registered voter just because COVID was around. COVID isn't that deadly and the voters could still vote normally like they did in the previous elections. Again, you're claiming the vote was suppressed when it wasn't.

is everything a lie Val?
I've heard you state that multiple times when your provided with a source. And it's an awfully convenient argument.
Person:" your wrong, here's a source (link here)"
You: "that's a lie... now anyways (talks about something else related but never disproves the source or counter argue)"
Why try honest discussions when you can just write everything you dislike or don't want to believe as a lie. So you don't have to worry about changing your mind or realizing your wrong.
