Atlanta mayor issues executive order against new Georgia voting law

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is taking action against the voting law that Gov. Brian Kemp signed on March 24.

www.ajc.com

On Tuesday afternoon, Bottoms issued an Administrative Order directing the City’s Chief Equity Officer to implement a series of actions to diminish what her office called “new voting restrictions” imposed by Senate Bill 202. Her office stated these actions will ensure every Atlanta resident can exercise their right to vote.

“The voting restrictions of SB 202 will disproportionately impact Atlanta residents—particularly in communities of color and other minority groups,” Bottoms said in a statement. “This Administrative Order is designed to do what those in the majority of the state legislature did not—expand access to our right to vote.”

The order will enact efforts to develop a plan within the city’s authority to expand opportunity and access to the ballot box, according to the mayor’s office.
The plan involves training staff members on voter registration and general information on early, absentee, and in-person voting. The city staff will provide that information to residents to ensure people know how to obtain the identification required for absentee voting.
The city is also developing plans to provide information on voter registration and absentee voting using water bills, QR Codes, and weblinks to city websites, according to the statement.
The order also seeks coordination with business and community leaders to create Public Service Announcements to explain the newest voting related deadlines and timelines.

The Mayor is now fighting the Governor. It's Atlanta versus the rest of the state. This means all-out political war!

This is going to end up in the courts and those republicans know it...their hope I'm thinking is that the heavy conservative SCOTUS will rule in their favor and validate their Jim Crow restrictions.

Why are you such a racist? Why do you want to deny, belittle, and demean what black people went through after the Civil War? You should be ashamed to be such a racial hater, Jethro.

What in my post makes you think I'm a racist??

Already explained that in MY post, Jethro. They must not encourage any of that reading stuff at your Klan meetings.

You are suggesting that a CITY Mayor can overturn State law, that passed the state houses and signed by the GOVERNOR?

She's not overturning anything..she trying to establish 'end arounds' which is why I think those Jim Crow republicans will take her to court.

Well, if the education efforts she's "bravely fighting back with" turn out to be telling people how to "end around" - otherwise known as "breaking the law" - then SHE will end up in court.

 

[Cecilie1200]

So this dumbass is gonna restrict the number of voting days and lessen the hours to vote that this bill implemented.

Good call, Moron.

I didn't see where she said that. As far as I can tell, she's "threatening" to have her administration read the law, and then tell people how to comply with it. Which . . . I'm missing the warfare implied there.

Didn’t bother to click on the link. I shoulda known Shortpants was full of shit.

He clearly didn't bother to click on the link, either. Or maybe he just didn't bother to decipher all those black squiggles on the page that educated people call "words".

So shes a F'up just like Biden, the idiot who promised to unite America. BTW.. he lied on that one.
He's out right now claiming Georgia is passing JIM CROW laws. DO you know what an actual Jim Crow Law was? Obviously Biden does not, because right now he's working hard to divide Americans and make them not like each other.

Not handing out water within so many feet of a voter line.. or asking for I.D. (ALL RACES BTW)
Is not a Jim Crow Law...... Mr president is purposely full of shit to get things done for his political party. This is not good in any way French

I am hoping they keep the law... I can just see it during voting, Police arresting people for giving an elderly person water in a hot sun...

That will play so well on TV all over America during voting... They will interview the old person and how she was dehydrated but determined to vote...

Inspirational Story of the fight to vote, this will be put on loop in the media for 24 hours.... We might go celebrity for the arrest, Oprah could be a good one...

Actually I got it better... A White Grandmother & mother of a Vet (or exVet) who gets arrested giving water to elderly people in the line... Need the arrest footage..

The tag line "Your Vote is precious and needed to be defended by all, Vote today"

So please do this...

Gee you show hard evidence that you didn't read the law and ignored examples that what you stated is a bald faced lie!

Oh, good, you got someone to read my post and then explain it to you. That should be helpful. Pity you didn't understand them very well and subsequently misrepresented what I said.

Why don't you go back, have them explain it again, and THIS time actually try to pay attention? And don't come back until you have it right, because we will not be conversing on the basis of what you want to pretend I said. Quote me correctly, or don't bother me.

Hey Ben Thomson quote the test of the statute you claim makes it a “Jim Crow law”.

Failure to do so will be an admission by you that you are a moron who can only parrot bullshit talking points you are fed by hour handlers.

Good for Mayor Bottoms.

She's great - and a potential future star. FUK Kemp and his ilk, they can't mandate what goes on in Fulton County!

Good for Mayor Bottoms.

She's great - and a potential future star. FUK Kemp and his ilk, they can't mandate what goes on in Fulton County!

Yes they can, and they did.

Yes they can Jim Crow the county, and they did.

Still waiting for you to quote the statute......

Even MORE racism from you. You should really seek some professional help.
