I should point out that since people are all like 15 ft away it looks longer than normally.

if it's like that every day then deliberate suppression

Not a surprise. Kemp is one of the worst governors and cheated in the first place to win.

Fucking retard imbecile.

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.

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.

The 4 hour thing is troubling, anything over 45 minutes is, but that doesn't deny the fact they are all socialliy distanced.

Member Tue Oct 13 07:37:03
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

Funny how liberals arn't planning to kidnap this Gov who is blatantly destroying civil rights.

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.

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.

the one ballot box per county is ridiculous. the intent is blatant but the cult won't admit it.

Texas could go blue if the patriots fight the suppression

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.

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
Member Wed Oct 14 05:10:29
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.

'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.:

Tom , Probably.

I still think that we need some standiziation of voting for federal elections.

"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
Member Wed Oct 14 10:09:48
Dakyron, it could still be voter suppression if the majority of the town are registered Democrats.

I checked the education levels. 50% college degree, median age 34. Its a democratic town by those indicators.

habebe

Those indicators are less precise on smaller scales.

jergul

For sure. That is why I say things like 4000 habebes support Biden in 10000 universes.

habebe
Member Wed Oct 14 11:51:01
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.

Actually I guess thats not what you meant.Bit whatever.

"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.
