The majority of those benefiting from it are transplants that followed the production companies. They vote and contribute almost solely to the opposition. We're subsidizing our own downfall and I just can't get behind the industry.

I can't argue that it is money that in the end goes to hurt politically but at this point it appears so does having Amazon, Facebook, and other big tech located here that all got sizable tax credits.
There are a lot of transplants but also lots of money being pumped through SCAD and other schools for technical people that are residents. I personally know 6-8 residents that work in some way on productions here on a regular basis. If not for transplants, the entire Metro region would be black and white still.
In some way, the Republican party is going to have to adjust its candidates if it wants to win. We can't just keep running white dudes and expect the diversity to follow along.
That said..likely for another thread as trying to keep this one focused on GA voting legislation.

The very simple solution is for the now current republican legislature to pass a law that says vote however you want but electors are chosen by the legislature after the election.
Boom... they can choose Republican electors
Would recommend that be done in all Republican legislatures

That would suit me just fine as long as the electors can be voted out of office if they vote the wrong way. Sounds good to me if, and only if, you have an informed and aware voting populace voting for or against the electors. The only chance in hell to have a properly informed voter, up and down the line, is to have some sort of test that assesses knowledge of civics and literacy in general. You do know the "Voting Rights Act" would have to scrapped don't you? I've said it is unconstitutional all along, but I'm not on the Supreme Court, and probably won't be either, even though I should be.

Who will enforce these laws? They has some laws broken last time and no one enforced them.
What good is a law that is enforced differently depending on which party broke the law. If a dem breaks a voting law, nothing happens. If a repub breaks a voting law, they throw the book at them.
laws are worthless unless these legislatures specify who and how it will be enforced. In the past we could count on local law enforcement to handle this. Today that is not the case.

People are always going to work the system..both sides do it with donations, kickbacks, gerrymandering, voter data, legal challenges, etc. The left will always play the race card when it comes to voter suppression. It is a card that has proven to work.
You win a war by taking battles. Subtle changes to legislation will make it harder to work the system. It is a game. Most of the current bills attempt to adjust the rules without actually suppressing anybody’s right to vote or access.
The best way to enforce the laws is make it harder to work around them.

Why not both. The people should hold the elected officials accountable for fixing what happened on Nov 3rd in law. They should also hold them and the people that committed the fraud accountable for the actions that took place and it should be exposed.

It won't matter if those that break the laws are never prosecuted. I won't pretend to be a legal expert, but the "no standing" ruling by the SCOTUS pretty much gave fraud an unrestricted avenue to prosper.

Here comes Lebron to the ATL to fight Suppression.
God I am beginning to hate Dems.
HB531 simply does NOT suppress the Black (or any vote).
They are starting this fight to keep the other bills from actually having a chance (the ones that do actually end no-excuse absentee voting).
The Black community truly believes they somehow are being suppressed (or at least selling it as leverage) when they have exactly the same access as everyone lese. A neighbor precinct you can vote in person for several weeks and a mailbox you can stick a ballot in for 78 days.
First off, Georgia has among the highest % of registered voters in the Country. Therefore you can vote.
It is stupid to believe you can request an application a few days prior to voting, receive it by mail and then get it back in time to be counted.
We should be able to know who won the day of the election. That will never be possible if thousands of paper ballots show up the day of the election.
Exactly how many weeks do you need to have to vote absentee?? This bill doesn't end that. You go online, submit your application and a ballot shows up at your door. You have 78 days to get it done.
The drop boxes are horse shite. Why would something as important as voting be dropped in to random boxes sitting around outside for anyone to tamper with? Plus, you have a damn drop box, it is called a mailbox and there is one right in front of your residence.

It is crossover day. There will be lots of action today and will update later. Measures can still get added into existing passed bills later on but today is the day bills are suppose to clear House or Senate or be "dead".

SB241 passed out of Senate today.
Bill would end no-excuse voting (but somewhate expanded the excuses).
In a unique move, the Lt Gover (Rep) who presides over Senate stepped down from the position in opposition to the bill which passed narrowly.
The Governor, LT Gov are among those publicly voicing opposition. If that is true, this bill has little chance of passing.
The House bill will go before the Senate soon so they already have that in play. No reason not to try this but slim chance of it sticking.

What about the residency shitshow going on during the Senate election. They had not minimum residency requirement in the state before being allowed to vote.

Correct.
While not specially addressed in current legislation, the goal appears to be to try and keep registration to vote deadline 30+ days out from Election Day.

Republicans appear to be moving away from the end of no-excuse absentee voting. This was likely just a ploy to get the lower controls in place with less fight.
With the gates open, it is almost impossible to reverse course. All they can do at this point is tighten the rules.
Look for Omnimbus bills to get adjusted and passed with absentee voting in place with tighter ID controls and application processes.
*Still a huge waste of tax payer dollars.
