Voting Rights Issues - Lies - Misconceptions

Asking for a Signature Is Now Racist​

The suit has been brought by Democratic Party legal bomb-thrower Marc Elias, helping to file this by a coalition of Vote.org, the Georgia Alliance of Retired Americans, and Priorities USA. The suit takes issue with the requirement that submissions for absentee ballots must be filled out by the voter and submitted with a written signature by the deadline date in order to receive a ballot in the mail. The issue? As stated in the court filing:

The question posed by this lawsuit is simple: can the State of Georgia use arcane rules and administrative traps to deny absentee ballots to eligible voters?

What specifically do they have a problem with this filing? This rule prohibits the submission online and the use of a digital signature, something that can aid those looking to submit ballots in bulk or through other nefarious means. What angers these groups is the requirement of a request needing to be submitted with a name and signature appearing with ink – that is, what is dubbed to be a “wet signature.” The opposition to this most basic operation in document verification is the ridiculous part – it is said to be racist.


Priorities USA explains in a statement:

“The requirement of a ‘wet’ signature on an absentee ballot application simply creates a pretext to unfairly disqualify voters, particularly Black and brown voters, from their constitutional right to vote. This rule is yet another attempt by the Georgia Legislature to suppress voting rights,” said Guy Cecil, Chairman of Priorities USA. “Onerous requirements like this have historically been used to dilute the political power of marginalized communities. Priorities USA has been fighting voter suppression in the courts since 2015 and we will continue to work against these discriminatory policies.”

Taking it even further, in the court filing the coalition also invokes the Civil Rights Act.

Section 101 of the Civil Rights Act prohibits election officials from denying any individual the right to vote “because of an error or omission on any record or paper relating to any application.”

Its racist to ask for someone's signature now .?

Conspiracy! How can I sign the ballot if it seems that every pen I pick up doesn't write.

Please tell them breathing is racist.

Well, the blacks live in the polluted areas so you're breathing clean air.

Aaron Rupar spots logical fallacy in WaPo reporter’s tweet on surging voter turnout in Ga. undercutting Dem narrative​

Basically, the story is that the Georgia election law isn’t anything like the “Jim Crow on steroids” that President Biden claimed it to be:

after three weeks of early voting ahead of Tuesday’s primary, record-breaking turnout is undercutting predictions that the Georgia Election Integrity Act of 2021 would lead to a falloff in voting. By Friday, the final day of early in-person voting, more than 700,000 Georgians had cast ballots — three times the number in 2018, and higher even than in 2020, a presidential year.

However, “journalist” Aaron Rupar got a head start on the spin, and it’s very likely this is what the Democrats will be picking up in the coming days:

Nothing about their accusations regarding Georgia voting laws resembled what they said - I never could find someone who could TELL ME WHAT MADE THEM SO BAD with respect to - what other states did, what Georgia did before and why it was "racist".

The simple fact that voter turnout is showing to be NOT depressed but breaking records just clearly demonstrates that it ISN'T hindering voting.
It simply doesn't make sense that if you create policy and write laws designed to HINDER something - and it actually INCREASES it - then it doesn't really hinder it, does it?

"Uh... Uh... Err... More Voters means MORE suppression! Yeah, that... More Votes is Racist!"

Why is it that if so many Americans can follow the rules and vote, that blacks cannot seem to follow those same rules.
Why does everything have to be different for blacks.?
They need Affirmative Action for jobs and they need special rules so that they can figure out how to vote , and yet they claim to have equal intelligence and abilities.
I have no doubt they do have equal abilities and intelligence, so why do they need these special requirements and incentives.?
Let them fend for themselves like everyone else has to do.
