BLM demand The Masters and MLB All-Star Game are MOVED from Georgia

This looks like Black mail..Lol

What is wrong with proving that you are a resident an eligible to vote there?

"BLM groups demand The Masters and MLB All-Star Game are MOVED from Georgia after Gov. Kemp signed new voting law

Calls by Civil Rights group for two of the biggest national sporting events to be moved from Georgia after sweeping changes to state voting laws were signed in

The Masters is next month in Augusta while Major League Baseball's All-Star Game is scheduled to be held this July in Atlanta, Georgia

Bill was championed by Republicans as a way to ensure 'fair and secure elections' while Democrats are calling it 'voter suppression'

State became a national battleground last year for both the presidential election and two U.S. Senate runoffs after Donald Trump lost the state and White House

New voting law includes voter ID for absentee ballots, fewer drop boxes and makes it a crime to bring food and water to voters waiting in line to cast ballots"

Smart move. Tossing away millions of dollars thus depriving the local economies while giving themselves another reason to "protest".

[togor]

That's a highly engineered law. Let the white run local boards make sure blacks have to stand in long lines, then the state says, no you can't have water if you're waiting to vote. Too hot? Give up and go home. Election laws organized like terrorist cells. You got your box cutters and your flight sim guys, seemingly unrelated but coming together on the big day.

[lyman]

didn't say you can't have water, if you feel you need it, bring it,

says you cannot hand out water or food, which would be an opportunity for party workers to sway the vote, (here,, have this bottle of water with the candidates picture on it,,,)


a lot of the stuff mentioned , besides the celebrities pissing and moaning, is related to the past election rules and practices, and how to change them so they have some integrity,



and this part seems to be only a big deal in Ga,

As of February, 43 states had bills introduced that would curb voting laws across the country.


curb laws? or clean up the process?

I guess basic rights are more important to those folks than money. We used to admire thinking like that. Some would even consider that patriotic.

so you did not read the article?



if you did, do you remember the quote from Mrs King?

......

So we're all standing in line to vote and I have extra water and you're thirsty and we're both Christians and I hand you my extra bottle of water, one Christian to another, and we both get pulled out of line for violating state law.

And you're okay with that.

Oops!

Who here denies these laws are written by Republicans to make it easier for Republicans to win elections? Who denies this?

[lyman]

you really need to get out of your little liberal bubble and visit the world,


the law, as mentioned in the article you apparently did not read, says water and food cannot be distributed to those in line,

that means on my side of the planet, that the pol workers, or party folks, cannot had out food or water,

no one will give a crap about people in line handing each other anything,

not really hard to understand,


here in Va, we have a rule that the party workers cannot be within a certain number of feet of the poling place, so the voter can have some peace and quiet to make a decision

so they (one for each party) will have a tent setup just outside that limit, and about 3 million signs each,







btw,,if I was to read your post the way you apparently read that article, are you saying you only hand out water to Christians?
what about Buddist, Jews, Muslims, Hindu etc?


re your question


the same people that deny and rule bending, vote harvesting or improprieties in the last election,,,,,


oops!!
