Typical democrats' fake news ... first they get minorities on paper and then they complain when authorities want to check the authenticity of those "voters".


"... But they will still be allowed to cast ballots this year if they show photo ID that proves they’re eligible to vote.

"... The lawsuit, which demands that pending voters become active voters, alleges that the “exact match” is discriminatory because it disproportionately affects minority groups. The Georgia Secretary of State’s Office said the reason that many of the pending registrations are from minorities is that they were submitted on paper by organizations that specifically sought to register minorities. ..."

The irony is that the "fake news" is your post.

We need a bit of context here about the Secretary of State Brian Kemp and his history of voter suppression. Kemp, in 2010 arrested people and tried to put them in jail for registering minorities to vote. Mind you, it isn't illegal in Georgia to help register voters. Nevertheless, Kemp arrested people and prosecuted them for "voter fraud." The result? Not one of the people he prosecuted was convicted.

He also unilaterally used an exact match process, a process that a voter application must exactly match data on file with the state’s Department of Driver Services or the Social Security Administration. If not, it automatically canceled registrations for those who failed to correct their information within 40 days.

What is this exact match system? If a voter has any deviation, such as a hyphen or a middle initial that is on one document that isn't on the other, that registration is cancelled. In 2016, a coalition of civil rights groups filed a lawsuit arguing that the process disproportionately affected voters of color in the state. The case was settled in 2017 after Kemp’s office agreed to a number of reforms that removed the deadline period and allowed those flagged in the system to vote if they provided identification at the polls.

So what did Kemp do? He got the legislature to pass the same exact match policy but now made it law. Several groups, including the Georgia NAACP, the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials, and Asian Americans Advancing Justice–Atlanta, joined other civil rights groups in filing another lawsuit over the exact match process, arguing that it continues to disproportionately affect nonwhite applicants and that the 2017 law serves no legitimate purpose and violates a number of federal measures.

I see no fake news in this. What the news is, is that the Georgia Secretary of State, who is running for Governor, is using his office as Secretary of State to suppress the votes of people who would vote against him.

If that ID doesn't match exactly, they aren't eligible to vote. That's the point.

It's also an undue burden, that causes additional effort that isn't a burden on others.

I love how you used the photo from before either Biden or McGrath spoke.

Here's the actual photo. You MAGA's truly have no shame whatsoever.

You're both being dishonest in your selected pictures.

Barnacle: Your pictures are showing different venues. They are naturally going to have a different amount of people at them. And since venues are chosen long before the actual event it is useless to compare them against each other.

MovingPictures: Your picture does not show the whole crowd, just a part of it taken from a spot relatively close to the candidates. As such it will more naturally be "filled".

That's it in a nutshell. Trump acting like an infected hemorrhoid has given these other infected hemorrhoids permission to act this way, too.

It will not get better until the GOP takes back their party. I don't know if that will ever happen, either. This may be a permanent break, and the normal GOP has to form a new party.

This administration has caused an irrevocable crack in the Grand Old Party. Wonder if they were prepared for this?

That crack is the butthole crack that spread and revealed the true Republican.
