Fair point. I want voting to be EASY and FAIR. It is not fair as currently designed. But it is EASY (whether you agree or not). It could not have been easier. Maybe education regarding the process needs to be better addressed. My goal is to let everyone vote if they want to vote with similar effort required. Some people don’t care to vote, and that is their right. I’m not trying to get everyone to vote, just to make it FAIR.

How exactly is it "unfair" currently? The law in Georgia would make it more unfair for urban voters reducing their access to drop boxes (moving them inside preventing them to be used after hours and reducing the total number).

Ha, probably. But that was never an issue anyway. Not to the extent of any time or energy being wasted on it.

I know but the conversation circularly humorous.

R: Dead people are voting. Let’s clean up the rolls.
L: That’s voter suppression.
R: but their dead.
L: We know but it doesn’t matter.
R: So, let’s clean up the rolls since it doesn’t matter.
L: That’s voter suppression.
R: But if it doesn’t matter and we both know they’re dead, why not remove them.
L: it’s voter suppression and it doesn’t matter anyway.
R: why can’t we remove them.
L: voter suppression.

There's no problem with removing a dead person from a voting roll. (Unless of course they show up to vote...then you've got a whole different problem.)

Removing people from the rolls because they missed the last couple of elections is problematic.

Read Paul's post, it's a nothing burger to you. There are a lot of Georgians who this is not a nothing burger who just got this law shoved down their throats. The measures that allow the legislature to take over an election board should have been enough to get this voted down.

So then who is it a problem for?

THAT was my point! As written, this is more unfair. Some inequities previously existed such as wait times from what I’m told, but again, if they educated people on how to get around having to wait in line (early voting or mail-in ballots, etc) can make it easier on everyone.

Aren’t election laws supposed to be the perview of the State Legislators? I don’t have my Constitution handy.

After how many missed elections do you remove them?

Use of the word problematic is problematic.

I literally typed out, GEORGIANS who didn't like the law got it shoved down their throats. That is who. If you would like it expanded, Georgians who reside in the city who get fewer drop boxes and those boxes moved inside polling places so you can only access them during open hours.

Voter roles being purged of dead people is fine. Nobody is complaining about that, it's Pubs using those purges to get rid of living people for various reason. This is something that is done quite often and complained about quite often.

Just because a bunch of loud mouth fake outrage lefties and their celebrity friends give a hoot when they don’t even know what the legislation actually does outside of what old joe lies about, doesn’t mean most care or that it’s an actual problem. It’s just something for you to point to, and say republicans are bad and the devil.

It is so insanely easy to vote and there are multiple ways to do it, again as I said before this is a complete nothing burger.
