Judge: Georgia must scrap old voting machines after 2019
-
Legal citizens with photo ID should be able to vote without Republicans coming up with ways to stop them at every turn. Hopefully, the upcoming reforms in Georgia will highlight the problem nationwide and provide a roadmap on how to correct the problem.
:thankyou:

I saw a video on the Georgia law.
Whites were expelled from the voter rolls more than all other races combined. So that throws out your "white supremacy" crap.
Also, to claim that white Dems in the 1990s were all KKK members is beyond lunacy.
Dems controlled all branches of the state government and they passed the law.
Kemp, while Sec of State, suspended the removals, but not the notifications during the lawsuit in 2015. He resumed OBEYING the law in 2017.
++++
It's like the black woman in Texas screaming "racism" because she's committed voter fraud because she voted while still on parole, which is illegal in the state. She didn't read the form she was signing, so she blamed racism.
-
I never said all Southern Democrats were KKK members or even racists; rather, I said a number of them were conservative and became Republicans, including future-Governor Sonny Perdue. It is a well-documented fact that many Southern Democrats who favored segregation and hated Civil Rights became Republicans between the late-1960s to the early-2000s. Most if not all of the segregationist Democrats and Dixiecrats like Strom Thurmond became Republicans by the 2000s.
Brian Kemp nearly lost and would have lost had thousands of voters not been unfairly purged and had he not directed police to harass black voters who were trying get to the polls during the early voting period across the state. For that reason, he'll continue to be an unpopular governor and will most likely lose reelection now that he can no longer use his suppressive tactics.

And yet, idiots like you still voted for them.
Kemp obeyed the law, and won the lawsuit in 2015 over the law, that Dems passed in 1995.

No one I know voted for Sonny Perdue when he was a conservative Democrat and one of the state legislators who passed that law in 1995. Conservative Democrats made up the majority of the Democratic Party prior to the early-2000s; therefore, your argument is invalid. While the entire legislature passed the law, it was conservative Democrats who later became Republicans who most likely wrote the law. Is Jimmy Carter on record supporting it? How about Kasim Reed? Or was it just conservative Democrats like Sonny Perdue who later became Republicans? You brought up the fact that Democrats passed the law. Can you show me proof that says current Democrats like Stacey Abrams, Kasim Reed, Michelle Nunn, Sally Yates, Hank Johnson, John Lewis, or any other Georgia Democrat either voted for the law passed in 1995 or advocated for its passage? If you cannot show me the proof, then your whole argument is invalid. You're linking the current Republican Secretary of Agriculture under Trump with liberal Democrats and that sir makes you the idiot.
Also, you're calling hundreds of thousands if not millions of past and present conservative Georgia voters idiots because the Democratic Party controlled the Georgia state legislature prior to conservative Democrats becoming Republicans between the 1960s and 2000s. You can pretend like it didn't happen but that would easily classify as irrational behavior since it's a well-documented fact that many conservative Democrats became Republicans.

You are still in denial that it was, in fact, the Democrats that controlled the entire state government in 1995, not the Repubs.
You are still in denial that Kemp stopped removing people from the voter rolls during the lawsuit, which he ended up winning. According to all sources I can find, whites have been hit harder than black by the law. Also, it takes years to be removed for being a non-voter and there are a number of ways to stay on the voter rolls, even if you don't want to vote. When you renew your state ID or driver's license, you can tick the box. You can return the postage-free postcard they send every year.
Abrams is an "I'm a victim, honkeys are the devil" Democrat. She hasn't met a whine she doesn't like.

i cant get over thinking that blaming voting machines and gerrymandering is just smoke screen for dealing with the real underlying issue: the electoral college. if america want to improve democracy they should just get rid of the electoral college and move on to popular vote like most other western countries. with a popular vote the effects of manipulated voting machines would be more visible and gerrymandering would be a non-issue. no more silly "swing states".
as i understand the electoral college was implemented in the 18th century because of slavery in the south of america…... a little obsolete in the 21st century no?

It's in the Constitution, so it's not likely to change.
Getting rid of it only benefits the major cities and California.
I do love how a person from a country with very little diversity thinks the same system his country uses will work everywhere.
-
how is big cities treated favorably with popular voting? as i see it popular voting is about recognizing the will of the majority, kinda like how democracy is supposed to work?

Being from a tiny country, I can see why you don't understand the issues that only supporting major cities and California would cause the US.

so are the lives of the people in major cities and california worth less than other peoples lives? dont see why some peoples political opinion should be worth more than others…
