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!

Bravo Zulu Mayor Bottoms!!!

In otherwords,she is saying that she will ignore the laws and do as she pleases to ensure voter fraud. State law trumps city law last I look. The governor should use his power to go after her.

Since she didn't explicitly say that, he's going to have to wait until she actually does something to contravene the law.

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......

Me too, he obviously ignored reading the new law.

He will play evasive games because he is a victim of partisanship where the party dictates propaganda orders that must be followed, truth be dammed!

Jim Crow laws were meant to keep the black population separate from the white population in relation to services and rights. 'Separate but equal' was the term they used to justify these laws. Placing as many hurdles as possible for the black population to vote was one tactic back in the day. The Civil Rights Act rectified that but these new laws passed by Georgia republicans is an attempt to resurrect some of those hurdles. It's not rocket science.

Still waiting for the quotes from the new law that supports your assertion that it is a form of Jim crow law.

You have been asked repeatedly by several people, yet you reply with evasions and bullshit.

Waiting
waiting

Give you a one word hint...disenfranchisement.

So basically, he's got nothing except pandering to the black people he hates, because his masters told him to.

Told you so.

More of Jethro's "Eh, black people have never really had it that bad, but if I pretend I'm outraged for them, they'll keep voting for Democrats."

I'm curious. Do you also tell Jews they didn't have it so bad during World War II, or is it just black people you're racist against?

Jewish Racisim? How stoopid can u be (not that we don’t already know ;-)

Atlanta and Fulton County are run by [black] DemonRats. Both are trainwrecks. having already scandalized the public education system in Atlanta and wrecking and ruining just about everything else.

In 2009, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution published analyses of Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT) results which showed statistically unlikely test scores, including extraordinary gains or losses in a single year. An investigation by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) released in July 2011 indicated that 44 out of 56 schools cheated on the 2009 CRCT.

One hundred and seventy-eight educators were implicated in correcting answers entered by students. Of these, 35 educators were indicted and all but 12 took plea deals; the remaining 12 went to trial. The size of the scandal has been described as one of the largest in United States history.​

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...

You can have water in line, as long as someone's campaign did not provide it. Electioneering at the polls is illegal in almost every state..

Stop being a shithead!

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.

You don't even know what Jim Crow laws were! I would suggest educating yourself, but then you would become a conservative.
