Voter Suppression in 2022? Not in Georgia!

[Jim H - VA USA]

Four and six hour lines??

I suspect these long lines you speak of are in Blue districts, and are being run by Democrats who don't know how to run anything properly, but somehow you would blame Republicans for that.

Four and six hour lines??

And exactly where are these four and six hour lines for people to vote? Please cite your evidence. I'm pretty darn sure they don't exist. If they do the people should be petitioning their local election people to straighten out their gross mismanagement of the procedures.

But Westwall is right, people will sit for many hours or days in line to get coveted concert tickets, attend a Trump rally, or other venues that people really want to participate in. On our last cruise some years ago, hubby and I stood in line two hours to get through security and onto the boat. An hour or so in line to vote is not a huge imposition on people and illustrates that people are determined to exercise their constitutional duty.

My husband and I take advantage of early voting to avoid those long lines. Anybody else in our state is able to do the same thing if they want.

Four and six hour lines??

Yes. I waited 9 hours once for a Who concert.

Then you’re an obsessed idiot

You can apologize now

More than 10-hour wait and long lines as early voting starts in Georgia | US elections 2020 | The Guardian

Hangin out with a cute gal, waiting to get in to see one of the greatest bands of all time?

Sure thing. You must live under a rock.

We need to suppress the illegal and dead vote.

Well sure if people CHOOSE to wait in line. But when you have days of early voting, you don't have to do that. Every now and then we have gone and saw the line was longer than we wanted to wait, so we left and did something else and came back when the line was shorter, maybe the next day or the following week. This year we happened to hit just at the right time and got right in to vote. As we were leaving there were maybe 30 people in line.

The first days of early voting in Albuquerque--we're a large city--there is only one polling station open for early voting and that one might be really overwhelmed at times. About 10 days before the election polling locations open up all over the city and wait times are rarely unreasonable.

What a moron. No one “chooses” to wait ten hours in line to vote.

Shut the fuck up . You’ve been shown to be an idiot

If you are early voting, you are CHOOSING to wait ten hours in line to vote. Anybody who can't figure that out is the idiot.

That was uncalled for.

If I was going to early vote, and I saw a huge line, I would come back later, since there are many days of early voting.

In the example you gave, Lesh, The morons in charge of two Blue voting districts could not get their act together when the first day early voting initially started.

And you pretend that this is voter suppression when it is caused by incompetent Democrat Admins.

It's caused by Republican election officials removing polling places and cutting polling times

Coming to a Texas near you:

Meet Carrie Isaac, who won a GOP-gerrymandered state legislative seat last fall. As her priority goal in this legislative session, she has introduced a bill that would ban county officials from putting polling places on university campuses!

It’s not to keep these campus constituents from voting, she explains. No, no—

"Texas: What the Hell?" Feb 24, 2023: To protect student safety, the Texas GOP wants to ban student voting at colleges

Periodically, news bubbles up here out of Texas that has even original Texans like me scratching our heads. Thus, I’m starting this new periodic series, “Texas: What the Hell?” to keep up with the absurdity— and keep it in check.
