This is fraud protection. You know, so a party can't manipulate the vote in the event they're led to believe they're stopping a Hitler.

Illegal vote suppression. It is either that or conservatives start cheating too. Take your pick.

How is it voter suppression to require the same basic requirements to get a driver’s license? If requiring ID to drive a car Driver Supression? Last time I checked basically everyone who wants to drive a car can get a license.

It is a direct attack on democracy. Reactionaries are working to take us back to that magical time before 1870. If white men respond with: looks good to me. We know why.

This is all because Stacey Abrams was getting undocument illegals to use mail in ballots to circumvent Georgia Voter ID laws along with Raphael Warnock's non-profit intentionally mailing many absentee ballot applications for Georgia to people not living in the state.

Automatic Voter Registration (AVR) is only in 20 states and Georgia legislature never approved it. AVR in most states like Georgia is done with driver license. The main reason to remove AVR is that it increases voter fraud and opportunities to buy votes. ballotpedia.org/Automatic_vo…

The reason Georgia wants to repeal no excuse mail in voting and add voter ID for mail voting has to making it more difficult to circumvent Ga law preventing Ballot Harvesting. ballotpedia.org/Ballot_harve…

Ga wanting restrict ballot drop boxes to only early voting locations and restrict hours to when people are voting. The concern on this issue is what happens in a local election if someone steals the ballots in the drop box. People also use the drop box in ballot harvesting.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Ga cutting early voting has to do with the state trying to standardize early voting statewide and some Local Board of Elections overextending themselves concerning appropriately trained staff.
