Dozens of black voters ordered off bus bound for polls in Georgia amid razor-thin governor race

Hatuey said:
I don't think you understand that I pick my words very carefully. I didn't say you seem bothered. I pretty clearly stated you were. What bothers you is that black people are riding a bus to a polling station. We haven't established why - so I've given you the benefit of the doubt.

Does it violate anyone's rights? Go on Tom, you can tell us.

Again, can you demonstrate that the organizers were politically aligned and doing anything more than driving people to voting stations?

Did you read the article? Do you know what the cited policy is for the county? Are the community residents till provided free transportation to polling places to cast their votes? And since there is NO denial of voting privileges do you EVER get tired of making yourself look stupid?

Republicans bus people from churches all of the time...I have no problem with it...everyone who can vote, SHOULD vote....regardless of their affiliation.

In this area where republicans allegedly bus people in to vote (can you cite examples BTW? Thanks in advance) is it illegal to do so? If so...that practice should be stopped. If not...your comments have no relative bearing on the conversation at hand and you are just another race baiting leftist doing your damnedest to foment racial hatred.

There is a lot of jibber jabber in your posts but not explanations about what threatens society when black people hop on a bus and go vote.

I really wish you'd pushed your non-existent point some more.

Another post where you refuse to explain what is so threatening about a bus saying black people should empower themselves, and vote for what they want. You won't say, it's alright. We get it.

So taking people who probably cant drive somewhere to vote should be illegal? Some of you are unreal

The cofounder does partisan op-eds, one of which is linked on the organization’s website. Besides, this is a county run senior living facility and it would be irresponsible of them to let a random third party pack their residents into a bus and just drive away.

Um, it wasn't a senior living facility...these are independent seniors that gather there 3 times a week...they didn't live there.

Further, interferring with voting or the process of voting or voter registration is a serious federal offense..

no dip****. He attempted to tell me my political viewpoint. Try again Harvey.
 
OK, so I have some questions. These folks who were removed from the bus - were they on the bus in order to go cast their vote? Were they removed because they were not allowed to ride that bus to go vote? As far I can tell from the CBS article is that riding that bus to the polling station is called "prohibited political activity" Is there a law regarding how one arrives at the polling station? Busses are not allowed?

According to the article, the folks were ordered off the bus. Once they were off, was the bus allowed to continue on to the polling place? Would the people be allowed to walk to the polling place or find alternative transportation? Exactly which vehicles are considered legal to go to a polling place?

These are legit questions because otherwise it was the voting itself that the "county officials" wanted to stop, and that is very bad. Wouldn't you agree?

He plainly asked you a question, ending with the customary symbol: "?" which most competent speakers of English know is a question mark and it signifies a question. Perhaps you thought it was rhetorical the first time, but when he then said he was asking you a question, you denied it. You are lying in about an obvious a way as it's possible to do. I guess those are the times in which we live.

If you would just read the explanation from the senior center, only non affiliated political activities are allowed to be promoted on their dime.

They had permission, in advance, from the senior center.

It wasn't illegal for Black Votes matter to bus these people to vote either....it is illegal to remove the seniors from the bus and stop them from heading to vote...that is interference with voting...a federal offense. I listed the statute for you. A senior center or local rule cannot violate federal law....and BVM is unaffiliated.

It's really quite simple.

If someone says that "Black People" should "empower" themselves, then they are saying the same thing as the Black Panthers said.

The Black Panthers were all Commies.

The Commies want to destroy America.

Therefore anyone who says that "Black People" should "empower" themselves wants to destroy America.

Or so say the "Real Patriotic True Patriotic Conservative Patriotic American Patriotic Patriots".

PS - What they won't say (in public) is that "Them ['N'words] all want to [****] White wimmin and mongrolize America.".

What you have to remember is that there was NO "interfering" with VOTING. All that happened was the termination of "unlawful political activity".

Yeah, sure, right.

Dozens of black voters ordered off bus bound for polls in Georgia amid razor-thin governor race
​

Dozens of black senior citizens in Louisville, Georgia, were ordered off a bus bound for the polls Monday after county officials said the event constituted prohibited "political activity." Activists called it an "intimidation tactic" in a razor-thin race for governor that's become engulfed in a fight over voting rights.

Polls show the contest between Republican Brian Kemp and Democrat Stacey Abrams is basically a dead heat. Civil rights groups are suing Kemp for putting more than 53,000 voter registration applications on hold, mostly from minority voters.

Abrams is vying to become the first African-American woman governor in the South. She has accused Kemp, who currently oversees Georgia's election system, of dropping more than a million voters from the rolls since 2012 and closing polling places in African-American communities.

COMMENT:-

"Getting your supporters to the polls" is now to be considered "prohibited political activity" in Georgia, is it.

Tell me, exactly how hard are those people working to make Georgia the laughing stock of the world?

PS - Just so you don't get confused, we're talking about the "Georgia" that is bounded by


  • Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, the Atlantic Ocean, Florida, and Alabama

and NOT the "Georgia" that is bounded by

  • Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Turkey, and the Black Sea.

Interesting...

From the OP article, the reason these senior citizens were removed from the bus was because their transit to the polls was considered as "political activity". However, some of these people have stated their reason for going to the polls were to register to vote, thus, correcting so-called errors on voter registration rolls. Yet, from the same article, this is what the Republican gubernatorial candidate, Brian Kemp said was the corrective measure people should take on this matter:

On Fox News, Kemp called the issue a smokescreen. "Those folks that are on the pending list, all they have to do is go to the polls, show their photo ID, and they can vote," he said.

Kemp says he's enforcing the law and that if people want to vote, their name should be recorded accurately.

Go to the polls...

Forget about whether or not these people have a valid state-issued photo ID. That's beyond the point right now. The tactic now being implemented is very clear:

"IF THEY CAN'T GET TO THE POLLS, they can't correct voter registration errors. Therefore, THEY CAN'T VOTE!"

So, let's stop them before they even get to the gates. :censored Disgusting!!

So, a private citizen can no longer donate to an organization that has a political connection to it? Not even a "Get out the vote" campaign? I thought money = speech in this country? Moreover, are you suggesting that giving a citizen a ride to the polls -- something that's taken place for YEARS now in states all across this country -- is now considered "political activity" and, thus, illegal (in GA)? What kind of :bs is that?

So, you're saying vehicles that have any kind of insignia that may illustrate or give any indication of how a person may vote is prohibited from being near polling places? Be careful how you answer...
