Georgia GOP Leader: More Absentee Voting Will Help Turnout, Be 'Devastating To Republicans'

[SKKY]

“The president said it best ― this will be extremely devastating to Republicans and conservatives in Georgia,” said state House Speaker David Ralston.


The Republican speaker of the Georgia state House is not happy that election officials are making it easier for residents to vote from home in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

The state is mailing every registered voter a form so that they can request an absentee ballot for the May 19 primary election. Voters will also be able to cast ballots in person on Election Day, as well as during the three weeks of early voting beginning on April 27, but the state is trying to make it easier for people to vote from afar.

1. When voters vote, Republicans lose.

This year, voting is a matter of survival. It's a dire emergency. We have to show up (or vote by mail if possible).

2. If this isn't an admission to voter suppression, I don't know what is.

3. Yes.

That's how things work.

If you like pandemics and economic collapse, vote for republicans.

4. Why is it that campaigns can ask for donations on my taxes...

but I can't be registered and confirmed to vote by mail through the same taxes?

Or any other official correspondence?

Universal vote by mail should be implemented NOW in advance of the chaos that November is almost sure to be...if the GOP attempts to delay the election in any way, we need to shut down the rest of the economy, including "essential" businesses and keep them closed until the vote is held and the results are counted, period.
