Why more and more people distrust Biden and the BIASED MSM..."GA bans volunteers from delivering water, etc. BIG ASS LIE!

[RetiredGySgt]

Good to hear. We need to get rid of all electioneering.

Then ban electioneering not offering someone a drink

Thats what they did dumbfuck.

Civic mindedly offering refreshment to voters in long lines is not electioneering

rhere is no law preventing non political sources from providing drink.

There is now

no there is not thr georgia law prevents political activasist from giving that stuff as do several other states already.

 

[struth]

Poll workers and other people in line can give out water.


ONLY CAMPAIGN WORKERS CANNOT GIVE OUT ANYTHING OF VALUE, LEST IT BE CONSIDERED A BRIBE.

Not to mention, Campaign workers must stay like 150 feet away from the poll.

Sooooo.....Biden fucking lied at his “presser” as is every single leftist who said GEORGIA MADE IT ILLEGAL TO GIVE PEOPLE WATER!

Fuck you leftist liars

Democrats believe making buying votes illegal is wrong.

You guys are confused. The threat author says it's just not true that water is prohibited, and you said it's true and it's perfect. Which one is it?

water is not prohibited.

Yes it is.

Completely false. Folks are allowed to bring water...folks are free to donate water to the polling station and make it available to anyone who wants water, beyond the 150 feet, folks are even free to hand it out to people if they aren't waiting in line yet.

YOU LIE

Who the hell arrives at a police station thirsty before going online? You get thirsty because you wait a long time. You dumb f***

Who's talking about police stations and going online?

This is about polling stations. A couple points about that, 1) people should learn to be prepared, they know they are going to a polling station..,which might be quite different about knowing if you are going to a police station 2) water can be given to you by anyone if you don't prepare (so long as iit's given to you 150 feet before the polling station) 3) if within the 150 feet, or if you are in line beyond that, the polling station can have it for you, to get yourself...and anyone can donate water to the station to make available.

Regarding long lines...this law actually goes a long way to fix the issue. Prior to the law, the State could only get involved AFTER the fact, after the election. The polling stations are run by localities, and frankly where the long lines were, were dem controlled areas...in and around ATL.

Now that the law has passed, the State can act in real time, and address the issues by adding more machines, or more polling stations....here's the new law: If, at the previous general election, a precinct contained more than 2,000 electors and if [voters] desiring to vote on the day of the election had to wait in line for more than one hour before checking in to vote, the superintendent shall either reduce the size of such precinct so that it shall contain not more than 2,000 electors…or provide additional voting equipment or poll workers, or both, before the next general election….The chief manager of a precinct which contained more than 2,000 electors at the previous general election shall submit a report thereof to the superintendent of the reported time from entering the line to checking in to vote. Such wait time shall be measured no fewer than three different times throughout the day (in the morning, at midday, and prior to the close of polls) and such results shall be recorded on a form provided by the Secretary of State.

The purpose is to SUPPRESS the vote and nothing more. Closing the polling stations at 5 pm so that workers can't make it to the polls? Totally unnecessary to legislate all of a sudden. He should be making it easier to vote. We all know what he is trying to do regardless of the excuses you make for his actions.

But it expands voting....early voting for example...and allows the State to come in before the fact now, and add polling stations and machines

I have not seen that the law changes the time the polls close to 5pm. What I have seen is that the polling stations can start tabulating absentee ballots earlier..two weeks eariler, and that all, including votes on election day, start being counted non-stop after the polls close and be done by 5pm the following day.

Biden said it was “SICK, SICK” to make it illegal to buy votes.

Handing a thirsty man a bottle of water is not buying votes

how would you know??

if a trump supporter is going up and down a long line and handing our anything of value it could lead to a person voting in their favor,,

Seriously?

You think a determined to vote Democrat standing in line for 5 HOURS to cast their gosh darn vote, is going to change their vote to some Republican candidate because a kind republican person gave them water or food????

Nope!

The whole purpose by republicans to not give them water or food is so that the voters in these very long lined Democratic district voting precincts will give up and go home... And people coming to vote see the long line and just pass on voting...

dear Lord y'all are messed up people...

You should be FURIOUS that lawmakers etc, MADE THE CITIZENS STAND IN LINE FOR 5 HOURS just to cast their vote, while pearly white voting precincts have a 30 minute wait at most, to cast their votes...?

WHY IS IT TAKING 5 to 9 HOURS IN LINE TO VOTE in Democratic districts?.....

That's the fraud.... Through disenfranchisement.

I have no idea...but these laws blew up around the country after a ruling in Ellis v. Meeks,


In 1998, the Supreme Court of Kentucky, in Ellis v. Meeks, threw out the results of a primary election where the winner, Meeks (who prevailed by eight votes) had handed out free food at the polling place, and made it available to voters. The court rejected the argument that this was all harmless because there was no direct evidence that he had changed any votes or had demanded any explicit quid pro quo from voters:

At ten of the fifteen voting stations in the 11th Ward, Meeks made free food available to anyone present, glad-handed voters as they entered, and spoke with voters as they signed in to vote. Based upon this evidence, we… hold that Meeks’ non-verbal conduct solicited votes and amounted to electioneering within 500 feet of a building where votes were being cast…We can conceive of no other explanation for his actions…. We find that making free food available to precinct workers and voters was an item of value offered by Meeks in exchange for their votes or moral support in violation of [Kentucky law].

If you are really concerned about the GA citizens in line getting water, then you are free to donate it....give it to the poll workers, and they will make it available to the folks to get.

The poll workers are inside.... The water fountains are inside. How does that help the people in the mile long line?

That case, was the candidate himself, no?

Candidates should not be allowed to do what that candidate did....

They are not allowed to campaign at a polling place....nor should the people offering water or food in hours waiting voter lines..... Keep them from campaigning but not giving out water....

Better yet, there should be no situation, where it takes more than one hour in line, to vote..... Where is that legislation forcing state precincts to be fair and equal for all citizens in all voting districts?

I suppose anyone bringing a bottle of water and a power bar would solve every problem.
But then democrats would have no cause to work the lines handing out free goods to people likely to vote their way.

They are not there to tell them who to vote for, they already know who they likely are voting for.... They are handing out water, so the voters continue to stay another 3 hours in line, without passing out from heat stroke, or giving up and leaving because they can't take the heat and wait.

The whole Purpose of the long lines in Democratic voting places and smooth sailing in Republican districts...

To get the Democratic voter to just leave after a few hours of waiting, and to discourage other voters from voting due to the long lines.

you don't know your Republican party leaders/cheaters very well....

hEaT sTrOkE!!

Historical average temps the first week in November in Atlanta: 67 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit.

And, hey, you know who runs elections in Democrat districts?

Democrats.

You're angry at the wrong people.

I was wrong on the weather! Heat stroke in November is not likely as you correctly pointed out, but that was not the case in the summer primary Georgia had.... Where they had the 5 hour line wait....

The problem is the State of Georgia has cut voting precincts by 10% after the supreme court eliminated a civil rights voting act law that protected blacks from discrimination in Georgia....

while the active registered voters have increased by 40%....And the increased voters are primarily black and from the cities who have the very long lines....get a 10% cut in voting places.

this link is very informative, if you really want to know or care about what Georgia's Republican legislature and the Secretary of State, then Kent, did to disenfranchise the black voter....read it.

Why Do Nonwhite Georgia Voters Have To Wait In Line For Hours? Too Few Polling Places

The state's voter rolls have grown by nearly 2 million since the U.S. Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act in 2013, but polling locations have been cut by almost 10%.

www.npr.org

Are you saying White people don't have to stand in line to vote? That they walk to the front of the line? RME

Please,
read the article I linked to, on average the white voter only waits 8 minutes.

Sorry, I say the whole thing is much ado about nothing. I read your article and just did a simple search and this is what I found. Voting During Covid Vote Early in Person Not only are there multiple voting days to vote in person, an absentee ballot is available to anyone. Any suggestion of disenfranchisement is disingenuous at best.

If all those things were in play, including increased absentee voting also early voting, and precincts still had hours of a wait in line to vote in non white neighborhoods,

then that only shows, it's worse than I thought.... What would it have been like without all the absentee voters, if they showed up in person?

I believe that if a person wanted to vote, there were more than ample opportunities for anyone to vote. It is not the government's job to go door to door to ask how you would like to vote--although that is what absentee voting is. Again, noise.

According to Georgia law, each voting place can not have more than 2000 voters.... They've ignored their own laws in this, for over a decade, by reducing precincts instead of increasing them with the increase in active registered voters, to where some of these city precincts are averaging 3600 voters in election day....

Read the article, again.....

The legislature of one party, should not be able to F with the voters (they don't like) that way..... It's just plain wrong, and even you...should be against it.

And things the Rs have done in Georgia had democrats on the red alert back in 2016, so that's why this new bill is being chewed up and spit out by them, with accusations of racism....

I think it's just evil and a form of cheating in daylight....

I'm not certain if it is merely racism, if at all ....

I'm cynical enough and dismayed with Georgia republicans.... Enough so, that I believe if these were not black democratic voting city dwellers, and we werere all white Democratic leaning voters, the Georgia republicans would likely do the same things to us white folk, to disenfranchise or discourage us from voting with long lines....

Well, I don't live in GA, so I cannot speak to the integrity of their voting system. But if what you say is true, then it certainly lends credence to the allegations of voter fraud that were filmed in Fulton county and that is simply extrapolating your reckoning.

You don't have to live in Georgia to know that there's no evidence of voter fraud. Do you havea a link quoting any Georgian offering evidence of voter fraud?
And I said evidence, not an allegation.
Now sit down and stop being so such a dumbass. A lie is a lie, and the fact that you don't live in Georgia has no relevance whatsoever to the truth.

There seems to have been enough evidence to at least open 35 criminal investigations of voter fraud...https://wgxa.tv/news/local/georgia-sos-35-voter-fraud-cases-referred-for-criminal-prosecution

35 cases in a state with 159 counties.
. And I'm sure they try to cheat because someone gave them water.

You asked...you got your answer...you were debunked.

Good to hear. We need to get rid of all electioneering.

They can offer them a drink while telling them who to vote for same thing. Why do they think blacks are not able to provide their own water if they know they have to stand in lines. They think black people are not able to get an ID.. If I was black I would be offended if you were telling me I am not smart enough to do either of these things. Democrats want us to carry vaccine passports but dont want ID to vote. what is the damn difference put a picture on the vaccine passport with a signature there is your damn ID then too .. .I live in GA and they are always say its to stop the minorities from voting but more people voted then ever last year.

You realize that neighborhoods (and thus precincts) are largely segregated? And guess what? The GOP has been removing polling places in black precincts for years. That (intentionally) creates longer lines.

Are you RWNJs pretending ignorance or is it real?

Long lines means longer than 150 feet. There's no prohibition on giving food and water more than 150 feet from a poll.

If you see a claim in a rinky dinky right wing message board that the prohibition is not true, here is PolitiFact quoting the bill itself:

And remember, right wing message boards are not a source of news. They are a source of entertainment full of fake news.

It is illegal to campaign within a certain distance from a polling location, so political supporters of any party handing out free food / drinks within that distance has been prohibited due to the possibility this act could influence voting. There is nothing racist about it =, as every person of every color DRINKS and EATS. The law does not state 'water and food can not be given out to BLACKS'. The claim that this is racist is pure BS from the Left, as usual.

More than 150 feet from the poll, they didn't. At our poll, they literally paint a line on the parking lot so it's very clear. On this side, you can try to influence votes, on that side you can't. Why are you being so dishonest that you won't admit that the ban only extends for 150 feet?

Georgia HB 531 has a section that prohibits "any money or gifts, including, but not limited to, food and drink, to an elector." Such giveaways will be banned within 150 feet of a building where people are voting, within any polling place or within 25 feet of any voter standing in line.

Georgia bill would ban giving food, water to voters in line

After Joe Biden narrowly won Georgia, and the Democrats won a pair of Senate races, Republican lawmakers there have prop

And remember, right wing message boards are not a source of news. They are a source of entertainment full of fake news.

It is illegal to campaign within a certain distance from a polling location, so political supporters of any party handing out free food / drinks within that distance has been prohibited due to the possibility this act could influence voting. There is nothing racist about it =, as every person of every color DRINKS and EATS. The law does not state 'water and food can not be given out to BLACKS'. The claim that this is racist is pure BS from the Left, as usual.

If they wanted to ban partisan gifts to voters and defined food and drink a gift.....they could have easily done so.

But why ban a local Boy Scout Troop handing out water as a “Good Deed”?

More than 150 feet from the poll, they didn't. At our poll, they literally paint a line on the parking lot so it's very clear. On this side, you can try to influence votes, on that side you can't. Why are you being so dishonest that you won't admit that the ban only extends for 150 feet?

I want to know why it exists at all
If it is a non partisan service for no other reason than to make it easier to stand in line.....why would you care?

Campaigning means saying something or wearing something that promotes a candidate.

This affect ANYONE. Not just someone campaigning.

And there is NO limit per distance. You can not give anyone in line ANYTHING.

The League of Women Voters (completely and scrupulously non-partisan) is banned from handing out water or food.

Stop lying

Because long lines (where this is an issue) are in Dem districts (because they ALSO curtail the number of polling places in those districts).
