#Georgia #VotingLaws #NBCNews
Georgia Lawmakers Battling Over Proposed Changes To Voting Laws | NBC News NOW
Majority of people in the United States want voter reform.
More leftist Racebating
Would anyone please explain why the Georgia voting law is racist?? Does the law apply to white people as well?? What is wrong with the law. I understand it expands the days to vote and includes Saturday and Sunday. It provides more voting time than Colorado, New Jersey and New York so what is racist about it. I firmly believe an ID must be provided to the supervisor of elections in your county to vote by absentee or by mail. Provide an ID in your precient to vote in person. So what's the problem. I know it is because a republican governor won the Georgia election and the race card is being played.
Good LAW
The new law will not allow illegal immigrants to vote.
I have to show ID when I Vote. In A Democrat State. So what is the Problem here? Seems to me that Democrats Do not any Restrictions on Votes. You even need ID for Welfare. Is that Bad to? If Democrats thought there is no Fraud they wouldn't be fighting this so hard.
She forgot to explain HOW this disproportionately affects black people ðŸ¤â€Â
If we cannot cheat, we don't like you new voting legislation! Signed the Democrats!
Let everyone vote online or text,. Like they do in A Got Talent. It works, right? ðŸ˜ÂÂ
But what ARE those laws? I hear alot of beating arround the bushes but for me as a European it is still unclear. How is it possible you can vote in usa without identifying yourself? Why is it such a problem for “minorities�
NO ID NO VOTE
OMG 😱 you have to show ID in person to vote so you should show proof by mail! No big deal!
So, and how exactly are these laws restricting anyone from voting? Especially a certain group? These laws are made for all Georgians, I suppose. Just because political groups cannot pass out water and while doing so, influencing voters standing in line, bypassing the existing laws that you cannot approach a voter at a polling location by so many feet? Or ID requirements? You have to have ID to buy booze, tobacco, guns. You have to have ID to drive a car or have a bank account. Why is this wrong for the most important thing you have, your vote???
This woman is just a mouthpiece for election fraud. Another mouthpiece ( other than somebody Abrams) is the fairfight bunch.
No prob joe dirt,key word here is ELIGIBLE!
The President cant over rule state laws on voters laws!
Sounds fair to me! Way too go Gov!
Goodbye democracy America
Live and Let Live! Vote and Let Vote!
It’s a bit hilarious how they try to restrict voting but never I mean never try to restrict gun purchases.
White supremacy rules in Georgia now after Republicans didn't want to lose again. IT IS the state of white supremist. Can you imagine it will be against the law to provide food and water to people in line to vote. How low can Republicans stoop to win again? VERY LOW!
This is all lies.
Voter id is the only way.
Joe biden is a liar he is a snake.
We don't want to restrict demorats to voting only once per election.
Again, Republicans find a way to disregard troops overseas…
Those corrupt Republicans âš¡âš¡
House Bill 531, adds additional ID requirements for absentee ballots and places limitations on the use of absentee ballot drop boxes. It also bans private funding of election operations, restricts the use of private venues as polling sites except in the case of an emergency and reduces early and weekend voting.
Can someone please explain where the “voter suppression†part comes in? Sounds like the only votes being suppressed by this bill are the ones where wide spread fraud is much more likely such as unrestricted vote by mail. Also I don’t believe there is one word in GA HB531 that talks about race so why are all the Left Stream Media outlets crying out almost in unison that this is “obviously evil white racists trying to prevent blacks from votingâ€ÂÂ.
Voting is more than a right it’s a responsibility. We ALL regardless of identity must be willing to jump thru reasonable hoops to insure the integrity of our elections.
What? If there are no rules in place, fraud can run unchecked. Tighten the rules = less cheating.
Republicans lawmakers believe that voting should be complicated and hard? The law also said anyone brings water and food to people waiting in long lines will be arrested too? WTF!
If it is restrictive for one it's restrictive for all…..
You scumbsgs at NBC like all the rest of you traitors are the biggest threat to this republic and you along with the rest of the people will also suffer when all is lost. So you keep doing what you do best as out country slips closer to the totalitarian stste that our future generations will have to identify what liberty to them is never experiencing what it once was thanks to a bought and paid for bunch of scumbsgs like NBC that would do anything for their 6 figure salary increase.
They can't win unless they cheat.
They are so blatant and it's obvious
They are afraid of minority voters.
It won't help them . the voters are
Smart enough to resist this garbage.
Them demonic hypocrites at it again! Conservative Christians get out of here the GOP should be locked up with their ungodly madness! Don't let them take our Voices
Legal bigotry. How so Southern America. Dixie is strong and kicking… Yeeeehaw!
What a bunch of Republican Scum…
US leaving world democratic country group. Every were in the worth democratic countries want more citizens to vote. the US (GOP) is in an opposite direction.
They are creating a one party government. People, please stop listening to the propaganda. This is a bunch of lies. Read the bill. This news , propaganda clip, is full of lies!!! Lies, lies, lies. This will be the beginning of the end of America two party system. That will be the beginning of the destruction of America. Everything they claim the other side is doing, is what they are guilty of. Praise God for opening my eyes. It is difficult to watch. Life was simple, when I was brainwashed by the propaganda.
REPUBS r trying to win back power so bad that they're using their own POWERS while in congress to change laws in their FAVOR to win in the next ELECTION😡! REPUBS tout FRAUD to change the voting laws in their favor even though they lost in all courts proceedings😡
I,d period and person only
He is not the presedent period
Hello Georgia. Many many moons ago, you left a bad taste in my mouth…yet you are a huge part of my heritage so i hold Love for you. I side eye you the whole way, but I hold a big Love for you. Now you're mask is starting to slip & I hope your true face isn't as horrible as i know it could be. Please be mindful it's not just me side eyeing you now…it's not just your citizens, your beloved country, nor the media side eyeing you. The world now watches & waits to see if you are truly a delectable peach, or just another bad apple. I know the "devil" went down to Georgia. I think the devil's visited all of us taking roll call over the last year. I think it's time to send the devil packing. I know how good Georgia can be. Shine your Light & Be Well.
We all need to vote in every election, go blue, don't let the red fascists take our freedom.
The jolly cousin evolutionarily heat because ikebana unsurprisingly measure to a decorous panther. tasteless, pushy insurance
The woebegone tomato neurophysiologically unpack because jail remarkably man between a blue-eyed rectangle. macho, smooth halibut
Republican politicians in Georgia should be ASHAMED of their efforts to prevent voting.
GOP really don't have any good in themselves at all, you are elected officials suppose to work for the people.
The panoramic butcher correspondingly x-ray because surname optionally fail concerning a cluttered worm. fanatical, extra-large extra-small exuberant unshielded
GOP same as Myanmar Junta.
Dictatorship is right around the corner, America.
THE ONLY WAY REPUBLICANS CAN WIN if they Cheat "The People" so they can't vote against them.
