That does not allow Secretaries of State to arbitrarily change the voting regulations such as happened in numerous states that extended the deadlines for mail in ballots and nixed the post mark and signature verification requirements.
Check history, bud. Many times, readers are subjected to lies in the debates on this discussion board because know-it-all idiots like you post whatever they want to be true and nobody challenges it.
I live in Georgia and I know full well what the sorry bastard, Raffensperger did...illegally.
Here's the gist of it:
And this happened in other states as well....aided by Marc Elias, Bitchillary's favorite go-to shyster lawyer.
The Georgia changes were made by a consent decree based on the Secretary of State agreeing to Stacey Abrams demands.

On March 6, 2020, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, took it upon himself to quietly sign off on a legal agreement with officials from the Democrat Party of Georgia, the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee, and the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee, that would fundamentally alter the way absentee ballots were processed across the State of Georgia.
The attorney handling the legal representation for the Democrat organizations was none other than Marc Elias from Perkins Coie. If the name rings a bell it’s because he is Hillary Clinton’s consigliere. Elias and Perkins Coie have been handling legal wrangling for Democrat election operations across the country.
....
As is the case in every state in the Union, the right to change election processes and election law lies exclusively with the state legislatures and not the Secretary of State, the State Supervisor of Elections, or the Judiciary.
For starters, had nothing to do with ballot deadlines and postmarks. It didn’t nix signature requirements either. There was nothing “fundamentally” different about how they’re handled.
"We’ve uncovered a second secret agreement between corrupt Georgia election officials and the Democratic Party machine. This agreement is also illegitimate and its purpose too was to steal the election.
We previously reported about the corrupt actions which Georgia’s Chief Elections Official, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger took to help steal the 2020 Georgia election for the Democrats. That involved a secret March 6, 2020 “Consent Agreement” to alter absentee ballot procedures, between Republican Raffensperger and his State Election Board as defendants against the Democratic Party.
But then we found another election law complaint, this one filed by Stacey Abrams’ nonprofit, the “New Georgia Project,” (NGP) filed on May 8, 2020. (See full agreement here or here.) Hillary attorney Marc Elias of Perkins Coie was behind this agreement as well.
Georgia’s General Assembly, was never even informed about this first secret agreement so it likely it knows nothing about the second one."
What’s interesting is that conservatives complain of social media causing censorship but apparently are cool with an elected representative threatening corporations with repercussions based on their exercise of free speech.
Jesus man - Mitch's face is disturbing enough already. But this is SO true that it hurts. I'd have probably included an insignia such as the one below, seeing as how the creep refused to take up Russia sanctions and shortly there after, got a 200 million dollar aluminum plant for Kentucky from his buddy Oleg Deripaska. They don't call him Moscow Mitch for nothin'!

LOL - "... corporations are merely a creation of the government, to be used by the government, for the power of government" - that's straight up socialism.
But if being a conservative is about defending personal freedom from government ...
I'm leery when people trot out Jefferson to warn of corporate power. (Not you of course)
Jefferson knew of the East India Corporation, and corporations were, and are, just loose collections of individuals pooling money for joint profits. But the notion that Jefferson would have been ok with corporations, and associations of people, giving unlimited amounts of money to individual candidates ..... well I have a slow boat to Canada/Caribbean I'd like to sell them. LOL
But I don't see the statist aspect of putting a hard cap on the amount any one person or entity (corporate or union) can give a particular candidate. Money is not a synonym for free speech. The McConnell elected supreme court took a case involving the dissemination of a movie or documentary (which is speech) and turned it into money.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell lashed out at corporate America on Monday, warning CEOs to stay out of the debate over a new voting law in Georgia that has been criticized as restricting votes among minorities and the poor.
"Corporations will invite serious consequences if they become a vehicle for far-left mobs to hijack our country from outside the constitutional order," McConnell told a news conference in his home state of Kentucky.
Big business ties with Republicans began fraying under former President Donald Trump's leadership and the party's focus on voting restrictions has soured businesses embracing diversity as key to their work force and customer base. Major Georgia employers Coca-Cola and Delta Air Lines have spoken out against the law signed by Governor Brian Kemp, and Major League Baseball pulled the 2021 All-Star Game out of the state over the law strengthening identification requirements for absentee ballots and making it a crime to offer food or water to voters waiting in line.

Uh oh, Mitch is talking tough again. Watch out Coke.
The corporations own the dem party along with the CHINESE and other slime from around the word. The dem party is fully bought and paid for hence why Bezo's media and the other tech, banks, and others especially those getting bail out love them dems donating so heavily to and "hiring" dems and their families for pay backs.
Vague, yes. Intentionally so. Standard equivocation. Leave enough wiggle room so you that your supporters can do the denial dance, but make it very clear that companies who defy McConnell will be punished.

I'm actually open to that idea. The corporate charter gives corporations perks that the rest of us don't get (most notably limited liability). But neither party wants to address that. They just want to do ad-hoc arm twisting to get their way.

If you are part of a corp you get the same protection. The protection makes the corp liable, instead of risking the individuals who might have ownership stacks, personally liable. But anyone is free to start or be a part of a corporation...so not sure what you mean about "the rest of us don't get"
