Georgia Voting Rights Controversy Is Erupting - Asking for a Signature Is Now Racist
Posted on 5/10/22 at 9:01 am

Have we finally reached peak outrage in the latest fight over Georgia election laws?
Lost in all the current furor, between Florida banning gay students, Elon Musk setting the Constitution on fire by employing the First Amendment, and the country being cast into the dark ages over the right to kill infants, there is more attempted outrage simmering in the state of Georgia. More voting controversies are being claimed, and the rationale offered is only getting dumber.
Priorities USA explains in a statement:
“The requirement of a ‘wet’ signature on an absentee ballot application simply creates a pretext to unfairly disqualify voters, particularly Black and brown voters, from their constitutional right to vote. This rule is yet another attempt by the Georgia Legislature to suppress voting rights,” said Guy Cecil, Chairman of Priorities USA. “Onerous requirements like this have historically been used to dilute the political power of marginalized communities. Priorities USA has been fighting voter suppression in the courts since 2015 and we will continue to work against these discriminatory policies.”

a signature is an onerous requirement?
and I MUST hear the explanation on how POCs are less likely to be able to operate an ink pen.

When did a person's signature become racist?

How about a finger print
They probably can’t write
A finger print is a right of passage

Incredibly bigotry of zero expectations
They’re saying they can’t even be expected to sign a ballot making it seem like it’s an equivalent to a poll tax.
These people have zero shame

Love when you remind them how hard democrats fought against absentee ballots in Georgia and now allowing every driver to be automatically registered to vote was also a Republican initiative.

Looks like another liberal "white knight" that thinks "Black and brown" (what, no capitalization of the 'b' in brown?) voters are too stupid to know how to write their names.

Georgia closed many of their cheats without acknowledging they were going on.

Ah yes! Blacks are too stupid to sign their name.
Leftists are amazing with their over racism, but blacks never call them out on it.

And why exactly are they contending that asking for signature verification is "raaaaaaaaaaaacist"?

As long as the money keeps flowing to these “voting rights” groups this will never end.
Despite the fact that registered voters % has been at forever highs in Georgia. THANKS TO REPUBLICANS.

Stop your hand wringing and push back.

All you have to do if you are that illiterate is write and "X". It has been done for decades.

Correct. Once they get you engaged you’ve already lost.
This is what they have to do to win. Cheat. Create false flags. Point fingers. Divide.

So black and brown voters can't get a voter ID, and now they can't get pens?
WTF

Wait, if a voter is illiterate and can't sign their name, how do they know which candidate to vote for? Do GA ballots have pictures?
