"See, other than allowing the legislature to take over local election boards and install their own board, it's less restrictive than New York"
Fuck, might as well just be on the Retrumplicans payroll Joe.

(5,190 posts)Other blue states with similar language about water, etc. Hard to determine just how much b.s. he was throwing around. Just managed to confuse everything. Which was the point, I guess.

That's what the change was
My friend who lives in the ATL area said making it comfortable to stand in the long lines made a difference but the BIGGEST difference was that there were drop boxes on EVERY corner and people just had to put it in.

It was the most brazen example of how fucked journalism has become in this country.

(182,271 posts)The follow up commentators threw cold water on Joes argument following Gov. Kemp. Compared to New York? Because MLB is HQed there? Coke isnt. Thats pure right wing pablum. Joe followed their framing.
One thing they missed was that Georgia was codifying rules changed during the pandemic but used it to make unnecessary restrictions. Transferring power to legislature. The max number of machines set to the most you can put in one location. Etc. the key in these situations isnt just what the law says but how they allow for changes in enforcement locally - thats where actual power exists.
Going back to what was done to throw the election to Kemp over Abrams and the history of Georgia being sued are context that Kemp and Joe purposefully ignored.

By controlling the board, the "wrong" votes can be tossed.
To compare it to New York is just silly. The other guy wasn't calling Cuomo asking to find votes.
