In April last year, Georgia House Speaker David Ralston (R), criticized a move from Georgia’s secretary of state to send absentee ballot applications to every eligible voter in Georgia in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. “The president said it best, this will be extremely devastating to Republicans and conservatives in Georgia,” Ralston said.
I wonder if Rudy really had that much power to make them do want they did when they changed voting laws? I mean yes Rudy showed up and talked smack, but Republicans in GA and other states went bat shit crazy when Secretarys of State created ways to make voting safer.
R’s became so comfortable letting their racism flag fly under fat donnie that they completely lost the ability to know when to just STFU.
The law is neutral on its face and we cannot speculate on the impact it may have. The opinions expressed by some representatives acting in their individual capacity cannot impugn the integrity or considered opinion of the legislature as a whole.
Beat them back with their own words -seems a good strategy.
Grubs like Giuliani only have the power they are allowed to have. And some Georgia officials were (are) only too eager to portray themselves as welcoming one of Trump’s grub soldiers.
Now Rudy the Liar has lost his law license. I hope he’ll never get it back. I hope that for the next election people of color will show in massive numbers.
As a resident of this state and eye witness to the election fuckery that our state GOP attempts to perpetrate, I say bring it!
yeah if anything they’ve gotten louder and worse about it.
I’m sorry, but no. Many provisions impose difficulties, and barriers for no reason but political mediated racism:
The arbitrary limit of one absentee drop box per 100,000 only effects metro and high minority counties, is a fine example.
The RWNJ Bubble gives them a very false sense of security.
It is really a sad reflection on Raffensperger that after getting death threats for just legitimately doing his job last year in certifying the election, he has signed on to this shameless bad faith vote suppression.

Too much is being placed in the hands of the self interested officeholder.
He was never on our side. He just wasn’t willing to crime for them.
But, make it all legal, and he’ll do whatever he can within those boundaries.
They. Have. Nothing. Else. But. Suppression.
Not since they decided to go all in on White Supremacy they sure don’t.
Shouldn’t we be hearing “Witch Hunt!” soon? And, for the millionth time, why can’t any of them stroke out on their outrage? Because of course, it’s all fake.
Live by the sword, die by the sword!
I just love seeing GQPer digging their own graves. They do it so well and with such abandon.
