    After reading through three pages... can anyone explain to me how this bill is suppressing votes?

    Are you actually making the argument that not passing out free snacks and water is akin to Jim Crow laws?

    Biden has been given 4 untruth marks by Wash Post for his comments last week.

    Reading the actual law, anyone can get a voter ID for FREE by going to the appropriate voter registration site.

    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......

    And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

    What if mlb players support the bill like the last Gallup poll of GA voters supported it?

    Oh... you have to show ID to visit the White House as well. How racist! They should not show such visitation suppression! Derp
    Can someone dummy this crap down for me? I'm ready to fight you but I don't know if you're a racist or just a sarcastic dude.

    Btw if they want to make a statement. Atlanta is a perfect place to do so. Where Hank Aaron broke the home run record despite all of the hate against him.

    The whole thing cracks me up. People can still bring their own food and water of course. Poll workers can still give out water. The only thing they changed was reinforcing that candidates can't hand stuff out. It came about because a democratic state candidate's campaign was giving out free pizza at one of the polling places in Dekalb county.

    It has some things I question, but overall it's a good bill.

    It guarantees 17 days of early voting. Each precinct is now REQUIRED to have a drop box for ballots. Those were only added last year due to the pandemic - they weren't there before. Yeah, they're inside, but they're secure now. People can of course still mail their ballots in as well

    Which state has the most voter suppression, Georgia's new bill vs Delaware's??

    Don't let facts get in the way of an excuse to score woke points by screaming Jim Crow.

    Even the wapo said this actually EXPANDED voting access.

    Hopefully MLB has some balls and tells the dumb woke idiots to eat a dick

    It ended up an ok bill after they took out the restrictions on Sunday voting. But from a political perspective the whole thing is a howler of an unforced error by the Republikaners ©. It would be political malpractice for the Dems not to be chirping about it.

    Helps to have the lowest information voters in history that actually think this is a voter suppression bill.

    Hooray public education system!

    Let me ask you. Was the last election rigged? Or were you somewhere January 6 you shouldn't have been?

    I see a bunch of posts about Jim Crow..blah..blah. While I don't think that everything is meant to be a suppression tactic, there is still legislation out there that has a Jim Crow tinge to it.

    Someone can easily point to it in this bill, but no one has yet. No one.

    And expanding voting hours doesn’t feel suppressive?

    Nice job maga

    Too much of a coward to just tell that loser he lost

    So, they ****ed around and went with the big lie of voter fraud and cost us the all star game

    Even after that loser is out of office, he’s still ****ing us over cause of the losers that still follow him

    If the law doesn't restrict legal voting, I'd sue the hell out of mlb if I were Georgia
