And Rethugliklans cried “Law and order. Rules are rules. Voter fraud. Protecting democracy.” Following that, unfortunately, their noses still won’t grow long enough to become a permanent disability, like being so heavy they can no longer open their mouthes.

This is a preview of what will happen in November. Those absentee ballots need to be mailed a month prior to the election. This is what Georgia claims to be a free and fair election? It looks down right third world to me.

I am sure there are lawyers working on it right now. Let those who want to suppress our votes know that we will drag it through the courts and we will drag them with it.

We KNOW Kemp is a liar and a cheater. Republicans simply cannot win on a level playing field, even in many “red” states. They have to deny the vote, suppress the vote, gerrymander the f*ck out of the districts . . . It is how they maintain minority rule in so many places.

Cracker Kemp is probably sitting in front of various polling places, on the tailgate of his big pick-em-up truck, cradling a shotgun.

This is pretty blatant, even for Kemp, who is not known for his subtle approach to voter suppression.

They don’t care. There is no civil or criminal penalty for a state or county disenfranchiseing its own voters via administrative (in)action. At worst, the court orders you to fix your problem before the next election, and even that you can appeal. The litigation costs don’t matter either, since the taxpayer covers those.

If people can wear masks to protest than they can wear masks to vote. No need for mail in ballots other than for those who apply for them.

And a pack of vicious dogs?

When we will be contacting the UN for election monitors? We definitely need them for November. Who/what makes that decision?
