17 days early voting in person, including at least two Saturdays, and its called passing Jim Crow Law. You show an ID wether you are white, black or any other ethnicity. Please some liberal, explain how this suppresses the vote.
The mandatory hours of opening were changed from 7am to 7pm, were cut to 9am to 5pm,
Preventing many voters on hourly wages working from 9 to 5 pm jobs, from being able to cast an early vote.
Then cutting the open hours on weekends ....to double down on it.
The hours for early voting were never mandated 7am to 7pm. The old law read "during normal business hours". The change set mandatory minimums as some places had only been opened half days.
"Will voting hours be restricted?
President Biden has said: "What I'm worried about is how un-American this whole initiative is. It's sick. Deciding that you're going to end voting at five o'clock when working people are just getting off work."
But it's not the case that voting has to finish at 5pm.
The law allows counties to set voting hours anywhere between 7am and 7pm, as was the case previously.
The new law does lay out the hours that are required as a minimum on election day, saying "voting shall be conducted beginning at 9:00 A.M. and ending at 5:00 P.M.", as opposed to "during normal business hours" stated in the old law.
But "normal business hours" were widely interpreted as 9am to 5pm anyway, so the practical impact of this change is negligible. +
