Voting Rights Restriction Bills Will Backfire

[mphgrove]

Explain in your own words how this will dampen the minority voting?

That article is just the opinion of a very biased propaganda media site.

The aspect of the bill that is most disturbing to me (greatest potential for voter suppression) is shifting authority from election officials (who are supposed to be impartial “bureacrats”) to the State LEGISLATURE, who often are blatantly partisan. Look at the recent experience in Georgia itself.

Major League Baseball is moving the All-Star Game out of Atlanta in response to Georgia enacting a new law restricting voting rights. Major League Baseball announced Friday it was moving this summer's All-Star Game from Atlanta's Truist Park, a response to Georgia enacting a new law last month restricting voting rights.

Except voting rights weren’t restricted.

No matter how many times the brain dead President claims that.

Or his pathological liar followers.

just suppressed and made much more difficult to discourage people from voting

we should be making it easier for every eligible voter to cast a ballot

but Republicans know if they did that they would lose even more often

Republicans admitted this on the record in the SCOTUS so spare me your equivocation and just admit this is the goal.  At least that would make you an honest scumbag like this guy.

An attorney representing the Arizona Republican Party on Tuesday helpfully admitted outright what has long been obvious to observers of the GOP’s decades-long assault on the franchise: Easier voting makes it harder for Republicans to win elections.

Asked by right-wing Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett to explain the Arizona GOP’s interest in upholding a state law that disqualifies ballots cast in the wrong precinct — a restriction that voting rights advocates say discriminates against people of color, an assessment backed up last year by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals — Republican lawyer Michael Carvin responded that striking down the regulation would put “us at a competitive disadvantage relative to Democrats.”

“Politics is a zero-sum game,” Carvin added.

Apparently, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred feels differently.

Describe for me the impartial process used to hire said officials in GA. Once you actually know you should then opine on exactly how “disturbing” this change is. Let’s not forget the LEGISLATURE is elected by the people and in our republic REPRESENT the people.

Bureaucrats support whomever will offer to get them more raises and give them less work. In other words, whoever their Union supports.

Some people shouldn’t be driving. Some people shouldn’t have kids. And some people shouldn’t be voting. All those people also have something in common.

Just like when the NBA supported riots, looting and the destabilization of the nuclear family, MLB is misguided.

total bullshit but if you have a link to support your specific claims you should post it

I assume you conflate any support of BLM with riots, looting and the destabilization of the nuclear family

Whatever. There is also the financial impact this has on Atlanta.

The last two MLB All-Star games generated more than $60 million for cities that hosted the event.

How is that dampening minorities?

The article you posted states they will nominate a non-partisan representative.

I fail to see how any of this effects minority voters.

Oh I see. They will appoint a “non-partisan” person to overturn the election results as they were trying to do several months ago. Don’t trust them as far as you can throw them.

And as stated earlier, this is generally a lost cause because minority voters (plus White liberals and a huge number of moderates) will stream to the polls anyway in response to all this.

Bureaucrats non-partisan😂😂😂

This is how Washington DC votes:

What part of the new legislation affects any one American's freedom and right to vote over any other American's?

You'll notice that I have not personally taken a stand on this issue. That's because there is already plenty of other crap to think about. I believe everything I've posted about this is the general reported response according to the media. 

Oregon isn't likely to follow suit. We like our voting system just as it is.

Here are the basics. To register to vote in Oregon, you must be a U.S. citizen, an Oregon resident and at least 16 years old, (no ballot until you turn 18). Online registration requires a current Oregon driver license or state ID card. If you don't register to vote at least 21 days prior to the election, you won't be mailed a ballot and you are not able to vote. If your vote isn't in by midnight on election day, it doesn't get counted.

Answer the question, you lying disingenuous ignorant prick.

MLB requires everyone to show identification to pick up their tickets at all stadiums and to purchase a beer inside a stadium. Why do you agree with their position that an ID should not be required to vote?

Why is every Democrat argument against voter legislation based on the principle that blacks are too stupid to comply with current voting requirements?

[The Scott]

Fuck the cucks.  Illegal voting is...ILLEGAL.  Those against having to prove American citizenship are not citizens, they're SHITIZENS.

Liberals, especially self-deprecating ones such as shown in the first part of the video  are really stooopid.  Just like our own Straw Man.  Although he's probably more prone to self-defecating. 

Look up the big words, Straw...You loathsome swine.

MLB will hurt Atlanta financially for one weekend.

But the financial damage done to MLB will last forever.

Liberals always biting off their nose to spite their face.

Could work that way, but maybe not. Remember North Carolina decided to get in the toilet paper weeds and pass a bathroom law a few years back. Sports executives balked. The North Carolina legislature got rid of the bathroom law a couple of years later.
