This portion of the law is dealing only with early voting locations. The law simply standardized that early voting locations across the state MUST be open AT LEAST during the hours of 9 to 5. Election day voting hours REMAINS 7am to 7pm as it has always been. Please do some research to avoid spreading erroneous information.Can you provide the precincts who were not opened from 7am to 7pm in the 2020 election?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.The mandatory hours of opening were changed from 7am to 7pm, were cut to 9am to 5pm,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.

"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. +

So having early voting for 17 days (some Sat and Sunday) with hours at least from 9am to 5am plus having the official election day voting from 7am to 7 pm plus having absentee voting is voter suppression? Give Me A Break? If people don't take the initiative to vote with all that opportunity, its their own damn fault!Come on! Having polling places open 9 to 5 does not accommodate voters who are at work during these traditional work hours. And how about accommodating service workers who work different hours? We also need to discuss more ballot boxes and more polling places. It is the voters who must be accommodated.
Loyal Americans want everyone to participate in democracy. If the republicans think that they can't win elections unless they suppress the vote, they should do their homework as to why their candidates don't appeal to voters. Embrace the obvious.

Its not voter suppression because the law applies to everyone, and ... people are allowed to have water... and get water. The law is just to prevent voters from being influenced while standing in line.
The intention is not to make people THIRSTY... and then give up voting because they are suffering.
That is a blatant distortion by Dems

Georgia voting: Fact-checking claims about the new election law (yahoo.com)
How does making it from 9am to 5pm make the ''election safer from fraud'' by reducing the minimum opening hours?
The concern is that Poll Managers can now cut hours in Democratic districts, and be covered in liability, by this new law....is how I've viewed it. It's my lack of trust in the Republicans running most county and district elections in the State to not have a behind the scenes, organized plan, to do just that....cut hours.
Why wouldn't they want to codify 7am to 7pm, which have been the normal voting hours in near all states, including Georgia since the age of time?
Why move to being opened from 9am to 5pm, as good enough for early voting? Why not Expand it, so more people can vote, instead of reduce it?
Why?
Is it because if fewer citizens vote, Republicans have a better shot at winning, and holding on to power?
This whole "new election law of restrictions plan'' of Republicans was conspired at CPAC.... It was not individual states coming upon a decision that they needed to do to advance voting rights or prevent fraud....
It's a unified push, by all Republican run states, to change their voting laws, to restrict democratic leaning voters, so they can have a better chance of winning....
That's NOT democracy.
We are not stupid Vel, we can SEE, with our own eyes, this unified Republican push, is going on.
