At least four lawsuits have been filed in U.S. District Court against Georgia Senate Bill 202:
1. The New Georgia Project v Raffensperger, n.d., 1:21cv-1229.
2. Sixth District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church v Kemp, n.d., 1:21cv-1284.
3. Georgia State Conference of NAACP v Raffensperger, n.d., 1:21cv-1390.
4. Vote America v Raffensperger, n.d., 1:21cv-1390.
The last one was filed on April 7. Here is the Complaint.
Georgia’s law make it much easier than some other states, including many run by DEMOCRATS.
Name one.
States run by democrats are moving in the right direction, which is making voting easier. States run by Republicans are using their own big lie about widespread voter fraud, which they made up, as an excuse to make voting harder, especially in swing states as well as states with a history of racially biased vote restriction and suppression.
Richard,
New York state is one of the states with legacy vote restrictions that are on some way worse than the new ones in Georgia. However, it’s still a disingenuous republican talking point.
Colorado. Delaware.
We get it Richard, you’re a communist who never bashes the Democrats. You believe people should be able to vote 50 times if they want.
Eddie (Nathan Norman) is a fascist and a troll who always regurgitates every idiotic trumptard talking point, no matter how dumb, calls pretty much anyone who is not a trumptard or far right extremist “communists” and can’t stop repeating the GOP big lie about massive election fraud. How pathetic.
Eddie/Nathan has multiple voices in his head – hence “we” get it. Who is we? Nathan and the voices in his head.
This whole thread is trolls, and Demo Rep hasn’t even shown up yet.
The only troll in this thread so far is Eddie / Ryan aka Nathan Norman.
I frequently bash Democrats. This year or last year Democratic legislators and/or judges have been hostile to minor party voters in Montana, Nevada, New York, and North Carolina.
Of course you do, Richard. Lol @ troll “Ryan”/”Eddie” trying to call you a communist, Democrat, troll, proponent of people voting 50 times, etc.
I read the bill and every state should have it. It’s time to clean up deadbeat voters on the lists, make cheating impossible, make simple ID requirements like everything else in life. It’s not a Jim Crow law like President Biden vomited to the media. I don’t believe in lazy voting! That’s where voters sit on their lazy ass at home and have a mail in ballot sent to them. Lazy voters don’t want to work therefore they will vote for the give-away-everything-free Democrats to give them continuous handouts so they can sit on their ass even more and whine and bitch.
ALL 50 State legislatures are ANTI-Democracy minority rule gerrymander oligarchies – commie/fascist versions.
1/2 or less votes x 1/2 rigged packed/cracked gerrymander areas = 1/4 or less CONTROL
— with much much much worse extremist primaries.

Census delay – worse gerrymander chaos
Despite the latest Nathan Norman vomit at 2:33 yes it is Jim Crow, and no, not everything in life requires an ID, nor is that the only provision in the bill.
Being at home doesn’t mean people are lazy. Some are retired after working all their lives, some are ill, some work from home, some take care of the house and kids, some work on a farm they live on or operate a home based business, some are between jobs, and so on.
There are many reasons people need a mail ballot. Not all of them are because they are at home. Last year and this year the pandemic health crisis is a major reason. Many seniors vote from him. Ironically, many of the politicians and pundits who have riled up their supporters against mail voting as well as many celebrities vote by mail. One of the biggest reasons people vote by mail is the opposite of being lazy, that is people with busy schedules who work long hours and just don’t have the time to vote in person, especially if there is an hours long line to wait to vote, as has been disproportionately the case in predominantly black areas of Georgia and other states.
Hopefully at least one of the lawsuits will succeed in getting this Jim Crow law tossed out.
Trump voted by mail. If it’s good enough for Trump its good enough for me.
This law doesn’t throw out mail in and early voting, in fact it expands it. Have you actually read the whole thing?
What is wrong with requiring ID to vote?
Mail voting works great in states like Oregon and Colorado and has for many years. It was not really even controversial before 2020, and prior to 2020 just as many or more republicans as democrats voted by mail.
Republican propaganda against mail voting contributed to their legitimate, not fraudulent, loss in 2020-1. They convinced some of their own supporters who would have voted by mail to wait. Some of those, for any number of reasons, ended up being unable to vote on election day despite earlier intending to do so. It’s even possible that was enough people to cost Trump a second term and Republicans control of one or both houses of Congress.
Because states processed mail votes later than in person votes in some states, republican liars and propagandists then turned the completely predicted shift towards Biden in those states into a phony scandal about votes changed in the middle of the night. Of course, they ignored other states like Florida which counted mail votes first, where the shift as more votes were counted was towards Trump.
Every state requires ID to vote. In some states the ID is the voter’s signature, which can be compared with the signature on file in the registration records. In other states it must be a picture ID. No one is opposed to some sort of ID.
It does not expand mail in and early voting. That’s another lying Republican talking point. All of the lies you are regurgitating are easy to debunk with simple search engine queries.
ID is just one of the many problems with the bill, which is aimed at a nonexistent problem created on the minds of republicans by their own lies. What’s wrong with requiring id is that some people don’t have one, and may have a hard time getting one due to limited mobility, being unable to get time off during business hours, lack of other id or additional documents required to get an id, lack of money to pay required fees, and so on.
Actually, some are opposed to any form of ID.
Actually, Richard is right.

How many private guns allowed in Stalin and Hitler regimes ???
Nathan Norman is a liar as well as a troll.
Massachusetts requires no ID whatsoever. I have never been asked for an ID either to register or to vote in Massachusetts.
I’ve registered in Mass a few years ago. The registration said if I did not have a license, state ID or SSN I would need to provide state ID if I actually went to vote there, but I moved again before the next election I cared about. You may have registered before that information was on the registration form and are grandfathered in as a known voter in your town.
Voted in 2020 in Massachusetts. No one asked for an ID. In fact, in the general election, I used a mail in ballot. No ID required, just a signature.
If you listen to Dan Rea on WBZ (1030 AM radio; clear channel signal reaches much of eastern US, on line live broadcast available) 8PM-Midnight every weekday night, he talks about this frequently.
They DO require a signature to register, but this is used mainly to check signatures on nomination and initiative petitions, which they do with great thoroughness and precision. It seems like they don’t care who votes, but who or what issues get on the ballot. A kind of pre-emptive voter suppression, IMO.
Stalin said: “It’s not the people who vote that count, it’s the people who count the votes.”
Massachusetts has improved on Stalin. It’s neither the people who vote, nor the people who count the votes that matter. It’s the people who decide what gets printed on the ballots in the first place.
Massachusetts typically has some of the most difficult ballot access requirements, and some of the most uncontested offices in the country. So, they don’t worry too much about who actually votes.
Ranked choice voting was on the ballot in Massachusetts in 2020, but it was voted down. The argument most frequently heard against it was: “What do we need that for? There aren’t enough contested elections to matter.” Which is entirely true.
The promoters of RCV in Massachusetts were mainly Democratic Party elitists, who were bothered by the fact that Democratic primaries often get crowded when a vacant seat occurs because some incumbent has died, or decided to seek higher office, which sometimes results in outcomes surprising, or even embarrassing to the party elites.
In the 4th district, after Joe Kennedy III decided to run for US Senator, 12 candidates filed for the Democratic primary there. Jake Auchincloss, a former Republican, won the Democratic nomination with 22.4% of the vote in the primary.
Otherwise even the Democratic primary is pretty uneventful and predictable.
