Georgia republicans just made water an illegal substance

[Nostra]

So, the Georgia legislature passed an unwarranted law to prevent people from giving other people water and snacks while waiting in a long line to vote.

Priceless...

While also making the lines longer. It is a many pronged attack on voting rights.

LIes. It has a provision that now you have to have a voting machine in each district for X number of voters in that district. The long lines have been in Dimwinger run counties, so it is YOUR fault there have been long lines.

And to me it is a slippery slope. Why not bring $25 gift cards or free sneakers? It's best to not allow anything.

Sneakers and gift cards would be a violation of 18 USC 597.

Again, slippery slope IMO. Voters can bring their own water and snacks.

You now need to scan your Drivers License and print it off to include it with your mail-in ballot.

So if you're in Georgia, go buy a scanner and a printer. Will cost you over $100 to do that so...sorry if you're poor or disabled. Thank the GOP for making it a requirement for mail-in.

Or go to any one of a number of buildings and pay 25 cents for a copy to be run off. Damn you’re stupid.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

Poor baby. Tell mommy to explain to you what a poll tax actually is. This isn’t targeted at a specific group child. Just because you’re too frail to carry a bottle of water with you and too afraid to show an ID doesn’t mean you get to cheat.

The state charges for a copy of a birth certificate, needed in order to get a state issued picture ID, which the state also charges for. These can be considered a "poll tax" as they are fees paid to the government, in order to vote.

1965 is 5 years later than 1960, the end of the 1950s.

Actually 1959 is the end of the 1950's, which makes it 6 years not 5 years.

Math is not your strong suit, and lying has become your trademark.

Obviously you have some great arguments to support your case since you're getting so anal about my math.

A copy is less than a stamp. Did you claim mail in ballots required a "poll tax"?


No?

Then STFU, Dumbass.

Everybody I know keeps important documents like that in a safe secure place, knowing they’ll be needed when the time comes for passports, drivers license, and other such things. Since you would need that ID to cash a check, enter some buildings, fly, and a number of other things, it does not fall under any “poll tax”.

Wrong. Jim Crow laws specifically mentioned race.

Those were the Jim Crow segregation laws. The Jim Crow disenfranchisement laws avoided mentioning race, as when they did, they were struck down by the courts.

Disfranchisement after the Reconstruction era - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

States also used grandfather clauses to enable illiterate whites who could not pass a literacy test to vote. It allowed a man to vote if his grandfather or father had voted prior to January 1, 1867

In Lane v. Wilson (1939), the Supreme Court invalidated an Oklahoma provision designed to disenfranchise blacks. It had replaced the clause struck down in Guinn.

This clause permanently disenfranchised everyone qualified to vote who had not registered to vote in a twelve-day window between April 30 and May 11, 1916, except for those who had voted in 1914. While designed to be more resistant to challenges based on discrimination, as the law did not specifically mention race, the Court struck it down partially because it relied on the 1914 election, when voters had been discriminated against under the rule invalidated in Guinn

GA gives an ID for free, Dumbass. You really don't know what the law is, do you?

Once gain, show us the text of the statute that is racist, or you are admitting you are a lying sack of shit.

bripat9643 & Nostra are two of the dumbest people to have ever posted on the Internet. They are also the most disgusting, deplorable and dumbest members on the USMB, and that is a high hurdle.

I put them on ignore a couple of times, but realized that doing so disallows me to respond to their hate, ignorant and stupidity. Thus I point this out today.

If you read the Jim Crow laws, they're the same as what Georgia is doing now. They didn't mention "race" by name either, but discriminated by race none the same.

I expected you to know something you're obviously ignorant of.

How does this law legalize racial segregation?

Be specific and cite the parts of the statute that does this.

This will be a hoot..........................

Your thinking it's only about "segregation" and not "voting rights" means you're not qualified to discuss the topic.

The segregation and disenfranchisement laws known as "Jim Crow"

Nice dodge, but let's play your silly game.

Explain in detail, with cites from the statute, how this law "disenfranchises" anyone.

GO!

meaner gene can't do it.

You said JIm Crow ended in the 1950's. Which means you were at least 6 years off, and wrong by up to 15 years. For you, being off by a decade is just par for the course.

Ballots do not require stamps, except if mailed outside of the united states.

GA requires a photo ID for you to get your birth certificate, Dumbass.

 

[AFrench2]

If what Nostra says about GA giving the IDs for free - then my solution would be to not make a copy of your ID, but to actually put the ID itself in the mail with your mail-in ballot. Then have GA mail you a new one for free. That would solve that issue for me...


I still don't support arresting people for bringing water though, like some Nazi country

 

[meaner gene]

Everybody I know keeps important documents like that in a safe secure place, knowing they’ll be needed when the time comes for passports, drivers license, and other such things.

Retention of such documents until voter ID laws wasn't required to function. For example someone who showed a birth certificate to get a federal job half a century ago didn't need it after that.
