Which law in Georgia makes it harder for a black person to vote (than a white person, Asian, etc)?
Fearmongering on the Georgia Voting Law is officially over.

And he’s a teacher! I feel sorry for his students.
So, if we want to look at the evidence, we already have some. Has the increase in voter turnout just been white people? Are there more, or less minority voters so far?
Can you tell me how the current laws in Georgia are worse than Jim Crow laws?
That’s what you were responding to when you said Biden was right. So can you tell me how so? Please be as specific as possible.
No chance that happens. One…because he can’t. And two…because even if it was true, he couldn’t.
Now?
A group of partisan appointed officials decided by a partisan legislature; NOT apolitical officials overight anymore.
During Jim Crow, it was legal, even common, to give people free water. Now, true enough, it was from a high pressure fire hose, but free water just the same.
Now it is illegal to give someone a bottle of water when they are in line to vote. Basically Jim Crow on steroids.
You are worse than Tom Paris. Voting locations are controlled at the county level.
Here we go again with you. So your new conspiracy is that the Bi-Partisan State Election Board is going to replace county election supervisors, who will then bring in a new county election board, who will then finally close that polling location that the black people use?
Seems legit.
Party of small government passing unnecessary laws. How about passing laws opening more polling places to make voting more accessible to the poor who have to wait in long lines.
AGAIN: Read the Law.
Effectively, the legislature gets to make the calls on what votes are "legit". A point that has mostly been hidden/overlooked in the media.
Totally untrue. I have read the law. The legislature gets more power to appoint people to the State Election Board, and that State Election Board has the power to suspend County Elections Supervisors. The state legislature, which is 236 people by the way, does not “make any calls” on what a “legit” vote is.
You don’t know what you’re talking about.
The state legislature will put "Marjorie Taylor Greenes" in charge of that oversight.
It doesn't require genius level thinking skills to understand what direction this goes. Particularly in light of what actually happened with Trump "asking" for 12,000 more votes to overturn the election.
Perhaps that is beyond your level of critical thinking here.
The free water clearly leads to voter fraud and rigged elections. This must be stopped at all costs.
Not having water handed to you clearly is “the end of Democracy” and “worse than Jim Crow”.
Not really broskie. I live in the Southeast. It’s not “I need a water or I’ll die” hot in November.
Why the big fuss over it? What's the big deal? Is it viewed as some kind of unfair advantage or cheating?
I agree. It’s stupid. And if Dems said “Damn. That’s so stupid. Insane really. We know what you’re trying to do. Losers.” That would have been perfect.
But instead, they said that this was the end of democracy and Jim Crow on steroids. And now even left wing media outlets are forced to say, “Despite all of the crazy dumb shit Dems have been saying for a year, things are ok.”
A typical human can survive without water for a few days. But since we're talking Dem's here, apparently they can only survive without water for a few hours without having it be delivered to them, at a voting site of all places.
I'd like to say this is a shocking development, but seems like more par for the course. Time crunch for the unemployed? LOL!
They expanded early voting, codified drop boxes which weren't allowed before the pandemic, and formalized voting hours. Please educate yourself instead of believing lies being propagated by Biden on down.
I didn't realize I had to bring my financial records to vote to determine if I was poor or not. They just make it harder and harder to vote don't they? LOL!
Nor was I aware that being poor automatically meant you would vote Democrat. Makes one wonder why that would be the case doesn't it? Things that make you go hhhmmmm.
What are you even talking about? You said the state legislature (a body of over 200 people) gets to determine the legitimacy of individual votes. That is what you said. It’s clearly incorrect.
Now you have a new line of argument, so let’s address that. Yes, there will be partisans on the State Election Board. The Democrats also get to appoint someone to that board, but more importantly that Board also lacks the authority to determine if a vote is “legit” or not.
You have nothing but narrative to draw from here. Stop now because you’re just embarrassing yourself.
Ahhh, so if the line starts to last days THEN you will be ok with having water available? Hahaha the fact that you need to appeal to an extreem like that is just proof you dont have a good point.
Once again, instead of finding ways to make the voting process easier and more convenient, we are making it less so. Why?
Polling places can provide water fountains. Voters just have to serve themselves.
And thats cool. But is that a reason for unnecessary laws? I dont think so.

They can, but that's not really a solution when lines can run several blocks long, with 8-10 hour waits that have been commonplace in the past.
It actually happened in Georgia. And was only foiled because the people in charge were independent of the GOP legislature.
Cause that’s at the core of the issue right?
Meanwhile Georgians are voting in record numbers aren’t they?
No; the legislature gets to APPOINT WHO determines that legitimacy.
And that's NOT someone who is "impartial". In 2020, that would have been one of your MAGAs that would have instantly declared 12,000 "illegitimate" and gotten Trump his votes.
Is this too difficult for you to figure out w/o a Big Person to help? The Georgia AG and SoS would NOT have had the authority to overrule Trump's request, which is what they did.
You really can't help yourself. Blocks long? 8-10 hour waits commonplace? You really need to check your meds.
I waited in a line in downtown DM last year that was several blocks long to vote and the wait was about 50 mins. So either your math is off, or there's some gross inefficiencies inside the booth in GA. (Oh, and people had no issue bringing a bottle of water with them. Some people even had smoothies and one guy actually brought chick fil a. I'm sure the GA voters are just as capable)
