Biden Says He Would Support Moving All-Star Game Over Georgia Voting Law

[struth]

The president of the united states has no business telling a private business where to hold an invent in the united states....this is just another step closer to fascism the dems are taking us to

How “Jim Crow” is it to expand the number Saturdays for voting and include Sunday Options? That would reduce lines and “need” for food and drink from electioneers. I am all for absentee voting. The ID requirement lessens inaccuracy or fraud that “signature only” brings.

How and why does this hurt you if you are Black?

 

[JusticeHammer]

Hey Kemp & GA idiots. Your actions have consequences. The 42 other states considering the same assholery had best take note!

Hope the 42 other states pass it. Libs hate honest elections, biden wouldn't be president if they were honest.

I agree. Punish baseball fans in Atlanta and Georgia for something they had nothing to do with. Seems both fair and logical.

You might argue that not all of them had anything to do with but many did elect those who passed the laws.

The new law removes the Georgia secretary of state as the chair of the state elections board.

Under the new law, if a majority of the five-member board decides that a county's elections officials have been doing their job poorly, the board can suspend those officials and replace them with one person the board has hand-picked to serve as a temporary superintendent, with the same powers the officials had.

The new law also limits how many drop boxes each county can have, how many hours and days the boxes can be open, and where they can be located.

Under the new law, two Saturdays of early voting are mandatory -- from 9 am to 5 pm at minimum and from 7 am to 7 pm if counties desire -- and two Sundays are explicitly made optional.

The law makes it a misdemeanor for "any person" to give or offer "any money or gifts," including "food and drink," to any voter within a polling place, within 150 feet of the building housing a polling place, or "within 25 feet of any voter standing in line to vote at any polling place."

Have you read this bill?

Where did he tell them to hold it?

Biden has no problem with MLB holding it in Beijing. After all, he has no problem with the Olympics being held there next year and America is scheduled to be participating.

So where did he say they should hold it?

Have you read this bill?

Yep. Read it. Where is the part that hurts Blacks more than any other group?

I posted a few of the bullshit parts of the bill for you.

 

[Pogo]

Sucking hundreds of millions of $$$ and job opportunities out of the predominantly black city of Atlanta.

How apropos.

How come y'all yahoo knuckledraggers keep looking at the word "Georgia" and seeing "Atlanta"?

Atlanta wanted no part of this. The state did it, and the state gets the consequences.

Where is the Atlanta Braves' stadium, nincompoop?

Reading comprehension is a lost art.

Intelligence is lost with retarded libs.

Don't know who that is, but I do know the difference between "city" and "state".

The All-star game is played in a stadium that's in a city, shitferbrains.

The MLB just deprived tens of thousands of working class black people in Atlanta of the economic bonanza that comes with hosting that game, in the name of protesting in favor of....black people.

You woketard libeoridals are some of the most stupid people in all of human history.

NO, Dumbass, MLB just spanked the STATE of Georgia. WTF did the city of Atlanta do to fuck up the electoral process? NOTHING. If that had been the case they could move the event to frickin' Macon. Or Savannah. The city would be penalized while the state would not. That's not what they did because that wouldn't be the point. And who the fuck suggested pulling the event would affect only "black people"? You're actually sitting here suggesting that the only thing that sustains black Atlantans is the All Star Game? And with the other side of your mouth you're trying to tell us the new voting clampdown DOES NOT?

Are you retarded?

While I recognize that you're obediently parroting what you're told to regurgitate, what it's basically saying is "hey black people, y'all can keep your minimalist once-every-other-decade jobs if you agree not to vote". That's the same bullshit that got Georgia into this position in the first place. Nor have your puppetmasters apparently given you any explanation of how it would affect "ONLY black people".

Y'all parrots don't seem to care how mindless y'all look.

Overpaid prima donnas.....who cares

Whelp, that would be the city of Atlanta and the state of Georgia, who stood to benefit from positive publicity not to mention an economy boost. Now they'll be benefiting from negative publicity.

You get what you pay for. Georgia bought this. Atlanta didn't, but that's the price.

Yanno what, the Braves franchise has moved twice before....

Explain exactly how the law prevents black voters from voting.

I don't need to. I'm not MLB, am I.

However on the other side of that coin I'm still waiting for somebody to essplain how pulling the ASG somehow affects only those ancillary workers around the event who happen to be black. That particular claim has been parroted here, repeatedly, by several, none of whom have yet been able to back it up. So in the domain of explaining one's point they're kind of first in line.

Don't you dare give them a drink of water while they're in that line either. That stuff is deadly. A gateway drug. You start handing out water, next thing you know they're gonna start wanting uncorrupted government or some shit. Then they gonna get all uppity and start objecting to gerrymandering. Who knows where that could lead.

Biden needs to stay out of it but I hope they move it.

Why? Why move it? States have a constitutional right to run their own elections.

Funny, that's what the ol' Confederacy was saying when they came out with shit like the Alabama Literacy Test.

While states run their own elections, there are Constitutional guarantees for its citizens on how those elections work and who they can exclude. You might have heard of, for example, the Twenty-Fourth Amendment.

Then again, you might not.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Baseball has made a big mistake capitulating to politics. This is not a human rights, moral, or ethical issue. This is simply an election rules and procedures legislation that pisses off the party in power on a National level.

 

[Pogo]

Biden is better at porn movies than he is at baseball. He won't even throw out the first pitch for the first time since 1910. Communist.

"First time since 1910" huh.

Remind us when Rump did it.

Maybe it was here?

Maybe it was at a very wonderful place in Germany?
Maybe he said he would but "would" means "wouldn't"?
Maybe he did it with a Sharpie?
Maybe he did it during the Revolutionary War with fighter jets overhead?
Hey, maybe it was at a USFL game.

All off topic here though. Apparently some half-asleep man behind the curtain has merged several threads about an action MLB took, with another thread about something POTUS said, which was here before the MLB action even happened. What a clusterfuck.

What Constitutional Rights are being violated? Where are these Literacy tests being brought back? Where does it say in the Constitution that I am entitled to have an electioneer or campaigner provide me food and drink inside 150 feet from the polling place? If do, how and why does that hurt Blacks more than anyone else?

 

[Lastamender]

We get it, think and do as we do or else.

MLB is not for voter suppression. I guess that you are.

Explain exactly how the law prevents black voters from voting.

It erects hurdles that most people don't face. That is voter suppression.

Republicans figured Trump lost because too many poorer people voted. They aim to change that.

What hurdles? And how do those hurdles hurts blacks more than anyone else? And be careful, because if you say or imply blacks are too stupid to vote like anyone else you will be the biggest fucking racist on this board. Now go!

Any and all additional hurdles are wrong. We should be making voting easier not harder. The answer to long lines is NOT to make giving someone water illegal, it should be making laws that open more polling places and installing more voting booths.

Not much is easier than getting and ID and carrying it with you. Voting should be open to all of the proper age who prove citizenship. An ID does that.

Sure did, now tell me where he wants to move it to.
