What was approximately 40 voting bills is now down to 2.
Last Bills Standing (combos of the other bills). End of no-excuse absentee voting appears dead.
SB202 passed House committee now to Floor.
Combo of multiple Senate bills
HB531 passed house and still in Senate committee https://legiscan.com/GA/bill/HB531/2021 no prefilled absentee applications, only elector can request application be mailed, only elector can submit application, misdemeanor to handle filled in applications unless you are elector, shrinks window for receiving absentee ballots, driver's id number on applications and absentee ballots, drop boxes have to be inside and limited in number, mobile voting buses only in emergency, and strips SOS as his role as head of state elections board.
Current SB202
Can't send unsolicited absentee applications
Limit absentee ballot drop boxes to locations inside early voting sites during regular hours
Expand weekend voting to two mandatory Saturdays and two optional Sundays
Require a driver’s license number, state ID number or other documentation to request and cast an absentee ballot
Set a deadline to request an absentee ballot 11 days before election day
Disqualify provisional ballots cast in the wrong precinct
Prohibit food from being distributed to voters waiting in line (((close to actual polling place not far away..shut up Dems))
Allow the State Election Board to replace underperforming county election boards
Mandate runoffs four weeks after elections and create partisan primaries for special elections

SB202 last bill standing and signed into law today after House changes accepted.
The Liberals will make it out to be a big deal but honestly not much changed. IT IS NOT ELECTIONS OVERHAUL. The changes aren't SWEEPING.
Ballots are on paper that can authenticate the ballot but not identify the person
You have to vote in precinct if you want your local votes to count.
Early in person voting hours actually extended.
No excuse absentee remains but you can't send applications to people that haven't requested them...no big deal. Applications not official also have to state where they came from.
Have to use driver's license or similar for application and absentee (STILL LESS THAT WHAT IS REQUIERD ON SITE)..there is still a solution in place IF you don't have this ID.
Absentee ballots can be opened and scanned early but not reported
The window to submit for absentee ballots is smaller (not as far out and not as close to election). Applications no more than 11 days before the election (giving you plenty of time to receive). You still have 78 days prior to submit applications. OVER TWO DAMN MONTHS.
SOS no longer with Chair the State Election Board (good thing)
No outside funding to election office (no brainer)
Details that require local locations to add machines based on wait times
Require publishing by 10pm on election night total number of votes by each method and absentee as to be counted by 5pm the next day.
No more mobile voting units (unless emergency)
Drop boxes have to be inside and close when polling offices do (duh..stupid to have votes sitting in a box outside, unprotected..if you wanted to go through all that just go vote in person)
No food or drinks (Biden mentioned this today)...WHEN YOU GET 150ft from polling other than self services water. Nobody is gonna die in line 150ft away. People were using this to buy votes. GTFO

This bunch of GA republicans may be the most feckless, weak group of bitches I’ve seen in politics.
They will pay dearly for their total failure of leadership.

Crazy thing is they are gonna catch crap based on all the headlines and honestly very little has changed. Ending signature verification which was a useless waste of time was the biggest thing.
Still months before to vote absentee plus weeks before in person. Still one of the highest % of registered voters in the State.
Not a single thing they did suppressed any vote.

More of this and less bitching about election fraud
what we need to do is keep working within the system because that's worked so well the last 20 years. nevermind that whatever laws are made, the other side is just going to keep cheating and make them irrelevant.

"signed into law"...wtf power is that when the Dems pick and choose which laws they respect. They not only stole the election in full view, but now threaten to charge people who openly profess such or dare to protest with insurrection and or sedition.
There will be no Legal or Electoral Process solution; Dems are all in with the Deep State and MSM in the tank, and a feckless Supreme Court that claims "no standing" to weigh in on the destruction of the Republic and Constitution which gives them power. Dems damn well know that the Right will not pull the trigger on the only possible way to avert "fundamental change".
This ship has sailed. Crash and reboot coming. Then the real "fundamental transformation" begins.

All this talk on this board about reform this, fix that is pointless. We are not a nation of laws any longer.
The dims control the entire law making process.
The dims control the judges.
Legislation is 100% pointless at this point.

You don’t stop making proper laws because others are lawless.

What purpose does a law have if it is not abided by?
China has installed its puppets through out the US gov't, all three branches. Pass all the laws you want but it will not help!

Maybe, but you shouldn’t pretend that the laws you passed matter.

There was a radio ad today in Georgia claiming the 'mail in' voting has existed for fifteen years. Is that a lie or just the using of the new term for absentee voting?
