What gets me is if you get a stimulus check you have id.

And what does limiting weekend voting have to do with election security...? Please answer that... WHAT DOES LIMITING VOTING TIMES, LIMITING POLLING CENTERS, and LIMITING WEEKEND VOTING have to do with election security...?

IT DOESNT HAVE JACK SHIT TO DO WITH ELECTION security... but it has everything to do with voter suppression, limiting votes, and making it more difficult to vote, ....
LESS VOTES = BETTER chances for republicans. ITS a simple fact.... and everyone knows what the REPUBLICANS are doing... suppressing as many votes as possible to higher their chances....

Its crazy all these people making it hard for people to vote dont need to be in office

All the years I've participated in the election process I've never had a issue casting my vote especially in my late teens when I was broke. You mean to tell me adults aren't responsible enough to at least have some form of ID? You can't even get a job with out one... This victim B.S. is way overblown.

It's election day, not election months. Let's try and make it one day next time like every election prior.

I hear Georgians have a recall on Governor Kemp. If that is true then good for Georgia. Like California, recall is just a matter of time in lots of States.

Hurry pass it! Now the balance of states will have a precedent to follow !!

They need to be told to disperse. Just like Jan. 6. Tired of the democrat tantrums.

[Lexman]

Turn the mace hoses on them if they get to rowdy.

One would assume that an election reform bill will contain provisions that did not previously exist. Perhaps folks only object when the changes are not those they recently made. If that is the case we can always go back to voting in person, ID always required in all cases, and the poll worker checks the physical voter roll book for your name and checks it off. All ballots are hand marked and counted by hand as well. In the 50 years that I voted like that I never heard one peep about chain of custody or ballot harvesting concerns as they were unheard of.

Well I see the conspiracy theorists are out in full court ignorance on this thread. Let the games begin and I'll 'take a bow for the new revolution.'

[patrickstory]

Did y'all do the vote the same way that you did the dot department because I really think if we going to be voting on something like that the citizens of Georgia should be voting on it not the Congress the citizens of Georgia should be voting on this policy that their passion and not the Congress because the Congress is only passing this bill for their own private and personal agenda not the citizens of Georgia the ones that voted that you're trying to suppress the vote

[philipenis]

Ahhh they sieged the georgia state capitol!!! They went inside the building the horror!!! Oh they were democrats? Never mind we won't show any footage and bury this story.

How does requiring an ID to vote keep the black community down?
