patom rank	Tue Oct 13 00:23:19 2020 doing Trumps bidding: http://www...ng-to-cast-ballots-goes-viral/
Habebe rank	Tue Oct 13 00:47:32 2020 I should point out that since people are all like 15 ft away it looks longer than normally.
tumbleweed rank	Tue Oct 13 04:11:45 2020 if it's like that every day then deliberate suppression
Dukhat rank	Tue Oct 13 05:59:44 2020 Not a surprise. Kemp is one of the worst governors and cheated in the first place to win. Fucking retard imbecile.
habebe rank	Tue Oct 13 07:13:43 2020 How did he cheat? from what I gather, even AFTER they counted the absentee ballots Abrahams wanted, and a Libertarian candidate won 1% of the vote he still took not just a plurality but an actual majority of the vote. I'm shocked Abrahams got as many votes as she did. Her claim yo fame is that even after losing she wouldn't admit defeat to just linger on like a bad smell in a gas station bathroom.
smart dude rank	Tue Oct 13 07:24:26 2020 "all like 15 ft away" ROFL. No.
Habebe rank	Tue Oct 13 07:43:53 2020 The picture is clear at the top of the cite page.
patom rank	Tue Oct 13 11:27:22 2020 That pic was from a town with a population of less than 30K. People were standing in line for 4 hours and still hadn't got inside the polling station. Now the Republicans have been telling everyone and their brothers to vote in person. Well here the people are attempting to do just that. God only knows what the situation is in Atlanta.
habebe rank	Tue Oct 13 13:52:59 2020 The 4 hour thing is troubling, anything over 45 minutes is, but that doesn't deny the fact they are all socialliy distanced.
patom rank	Tue Oct 13 14:37:03 2020 Personally, I couldn't stand that long in line without having to go piss. Plus my bum knee would be giving out about the 2 hr. mark. I don't care how anyone tries to candy coat this. It is just blatant voter suppression.
Im better then you rank	Tue Oct 13 22:18:56 2020 Funny how liberals arn't planning to kidnap this Gov who is blatantly destroying civil rights.
obaminated rank	Tue Oct 13 22:27:05 2020 One polling station vs how many in the state? No this isnt voter suppression nor is this blatantly destroying civil rights. Shit happens and no system works perfectly all the time. They have till november 4th (?) To get their vote in. This will be forgotten in about 4 days.
patom rank	Wed Oct 14 05:02:05 2020 Leaving Ga. for a bit. Texas Gov. has one drop box in Houston. The only way to get to it is to drive. You can't walk to it and there is no public transportation to it. That is for 4 1/2 million people living in that county.
Y2A rank	Wed Oct 14 06:41:15 2020 the one ballot box per county is ridiculous. the intent is blatant but the cult won't admit it.
tumbleweed rank	Wed Oct 14 06:52:04 2020 a long-ass line in Dallas/Fort Worth area http://twitter.com/dallasnews/status/1316018437794086919
tumbleweed rank	Wed Oct 14 06:53:00 2020 a long-ass line in Bexar County, TX (San Antonio) http://twitter.com/MagicOn33rd/status/1315997743941382145 & reports of 3 hour waits
tumbleweed rank	Wed Oct 14 06:58:26 2020 Texas could go blue if the patriots fight the suppression
Y2A rank	Wed Oct 14 06:59:20 2020 i think an important metric is the number of early votes cast as a percentage of total votes cast in 2016. on the first day of voting in harris county it is 9% which looks pretty promising given that there are 21 days left to vote and it is a weekday voting. with that said, there are always political hardcores that tend to vote asap so that could conceivably bump the first day numbers.
patom rank	Wed Oct 14 11:38:05 2020 Then to California where the Republican Party has set out a bunch of Party owned ballot boxes. Would anyone like to bet that they will conveniently create a scandal about early voting or one of Trumps dreamed up scenarios? They would love to nullify all California votes.
habebe rank	Wed Oct 14 12:10:29 2020 PAtom, The Cali thing was.clearly aimed at harvesting GOP votes. Also its debatable if it was legal or not since California does allow ballot harvesting. Now that Ilhan Omar thing was likley illegal ballot harvesting since it was probably done prior to the allowing of ballot harvesting and over the limit of 3. I should point out there is no evidence AFAIK that directly links her to it. The one ballot box per county seems like clear voter suppression. But you can always just go vote on election day.
patom rank	Wed Oct 14 14:36:31 2020 'But you can always just go vote on election day" Wouldn't the availability or easy access to the polls enter into that? Looks like suburban voters have to drive quite a ways to find a polling station.: https://www.harrisvotes.com/WaitTimes?lang=en-US
Habebe rank	Wed Oct 14 15:10:22 2020 Tom , Probably. I still think that we need some standiziation of voting for federal elections.
Dakyron rank	Wed Oct 14 16:56:59 2020 "As of 2010, Suwanee had a population of 15,355. The racial and ethnic composition of the population was 67.4% white, 10.8% black or African American, 0.1% Native American, 18.0% Asian, 0.1% Pacific Islander, 1.3% reporting some other race, and 2.3% reporting two or more races. 6.75% of the population was Hispanic or Latino of any race.[19]" A mostly white small town. Is Kemp/Trump suppressing their own voters? This is not nefarious suppression, it is cheapass incompetence.
patom rank	Wed Oct 14 17:09:48 2020 Dakyron, it could still be voter suppression if the majority of the town are registered Democrats.
jergul rank	Wed Oct 14 17:13:50 2020 I checked the education levels. 50% college degree, median age 34. Its a democratic town by those indicators.
habebe rank	Wed Oct 14 18:39:49 2020 Those indicators are less precise on smaller scales.
jergul rank	Wed Oct 14 18:44:20 2020 For sure. That is why I say things like 4000 habebes support Biden in 10000 universes.
habebe rank	Wed Oct 14 18:51:01 2020 Oh yeah, listen if it was Biden vs. Romney or McCain, Id probably go Biden.... maybe not with Harris though. But I consider myself a rather liberal republican.
habebe rank	Wed Oct 14 18:51:56 2020 Actually I guess thats not what you meant.Bit whatever.
Y2A rank	Thu Oct 15 00:34:31 2020 "Is Kemp/Trump suppressing their own voters? This is not nefarious suppression, it is cheapass incompetence." the goal of modern day voter suppression tactics isn't to explicit suppress the group of voters you want not to vote it is to create conditions that disproportionately impact those voters. Grandfather clauses in the Jim Crow south also impacts a very small number of white voters, but you can't point to that and say that the intent of the law wasn't to suppress black votes.
Y2A rank	Thu Oct 15 00:34:56 2020 *also impacted
Y2A rank	Thu Oct 15 00:38:01 2020 also, the county that Suwanee is in, Gwinnett county is an Atlanta suburb county that flipped from R to D in 2020.
Y2A rank	Thu Oct 15 04:36:45 2020 now the clowns are putting up a lawsuit against drive-thru voting in harris county tx. they see the big turnout and are trying to put a stop to it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Svx0bkPHKJs
Y2A rank	Thu Oct 15 04:46:09 2020 Early Voting turn out for Harris County TX: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzenY80ikVA 128k yesterday +76k today (as of the time of the video, could go up) total: 204k total 2016 votes: 1,312k % of 2016: 15.5%
