If the Georgia Laws stand

[edhopper]

There will be no more Democratic victories in that State.

That is how seriously corrupt it is.

1. If the Georgia Laws Stand

Every single republican led state will ask for a Xerox copy and pass it as well.

Won't be just Georgia that will be a problem.

[edhopper]

3. Absolutely

a slow motion coup of the American Government.

4. Thank you. If this law stands this will be the beginning of the end of democracy.

5. To me Republican party is a greatest threat to democracy

[RKP5637]

7. Absolutely!!! Greater than ANY foreign country. The republican party is clearly domestic

terrorists intent on overthrowing the democracy and basically the US. I often wonder how many voting republican think they are voting for Eisenhower type republicans. The old GOP is long gone.

9. Damn, I've been feeling this way every since 1/6! For me shit changed that day ...

... and soon afterwards once I found out some of the republican congresspersons were giving some of the terrorist groups tours through congressional halls!!!

The enemy is within or the adversarial whatever one want to call them, these fuckers can ruin democracy way quicker than Al Qaeda, Russia, isis anyone else could.

12. And many in the US well might passively let them continue because they don't comprehend

WTF is going on. ... and many IMO just don't seem to care.

20. +1, which pisses me off to no end how the M$M is focusing on winger lies about the border or

... the 12341242 story of Cuomo without an investigation or Tigers leg.

I mean damn, at what point to them is the union of states greater than their need for ratings ?!!?

2. Georgia will be just the beginning of the next cancer affecting the US. Many states will watch

and try to follow.

6. What is more radical than other states?

SCOTUS has pretty much upheld most state restrictions, what’s different about Georgia?

[bluestarone]

14. It's a shame YOU can't see the difference

[forthemiddle]

17. I am looking for what's different to argue against it

I, honestly, am looking at it compared to Wisconsin (which I’m most familiar with), and I am trying to see where we can fight it.
I, in no way, am saying it’s ok. If that’s how my post came across I apologize. I am trying to see what can be argued as unconstitutional, and where do we go from here. SCOTUS has pretty much said that States make the election laws, and unless unconstitutional they will be upheld. I am trying to see what’s different in Georgia from what other states have already successfully put into law.

[bluestarone]

18. Well i see quite a difference in what Georgia JUST DID!

Other states are bad BUT THIS is way over the top! We gotta ALL be ready to fight like hell! ( i do see what you mean though, but other QTHUGLICON states will take this and run)

[leftieNanner]

19. Congress has the Constitutional ability

to set the laws for Federal Elections. This is why HR-1 is so important.

22. Psst. You have a lot of self-education to do.... I just encourage you to do so.

Maybe you did not mean it in this way, but your post came off incredibly "flippant."

[soothsayer]

8. Look, we had a president who was a Russian asset

We can get through this too. Just might have to make a lot of good trouble.

[SWBTATTReg]

10. My question is how in the world that the Consent Decree that the republican party was

formerly under, discontinued? By the 200+- efforts launched by republicans over the last several months, how in the world was the Consent Decree dismissed?

[spanone]

11. ...and it will spread like wildfire to all other republican led states...end of Democracy.

[hlthe2b]

13. We know. Marc Elias will get a lot of it turned back because it is blatantly unconstitutional BUT

what is not being addressed is the piece that allows them to overrule local election boards, take the SOS out of the picture and plant partisan sycophants in to overturn election results. I am not sure how that gets pushed back except for the entire law to be overturned eventually, though the passage of the Federal bills might chip at it..

[leftieNanner]

21. Marc Elias is working hard

And he said last night that he can do a lot in the courts, but probably not enough. We need Congress to act or we are mostly lost. He looked very upset.

[Hoyt]

15. Disagree. I don't think Democrats will let that happen. We still have absentee voting, early voting,

etc.

Don't think Democrats are that stupid, powerless, oblivious not to show up at polls or vote absentee.

[JustAnotherGen]

16. Lawsuits already filed

https://www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/45/2021/03/2021.03.25-Complaint-As-Filed-Misc.pdf

No response from NAACP - yet.

Now would be a good time to join the New Georgia Project, the Black Voters Matter Fund and Rise Inc. if one is not a member of the NAACP. Even $5 will help.

[leftieNanner]

24. I just had another thought

Perhaps Georgia should have waited to pass this hideous law until after the Republicans in the Senate did their "magic" and made HR-1 and the John Lewis Act go away. They are still pending. This might give the Democrats and even possibly one or two Republicans pause enough to consent to approving these bills. Manchin says he won't vote for them unless it's bipartisan. If one R says yes, would he then agree to a filibuster change?

Interesting.
