No one is under any delusion that you progressives can be, want to be, or should be convinced of anything. Yall are in your own very special world of stupid.

Thankfully the world is healing, sanity is returning, and your stupid belief systems are being rejected.

yes i do

Wow. You sir are an idiot.

As of June 1, 2025, approximately 3.5% of Georgia's 7.8 million registered voters, which is over 272,000 people, do not have a driver's license or state ID number on file with election officials.

is there a point to this statistic? if they're a legal citizen then just go get an id. you realize we are talking about acquiring an id, not completing an american ninja warrior course right? there's nothing to it. just go do it. or don't but lets not pretend like getting it is some sort of suppression, it just isn't.

It seems you are confused on what voter suppression means. Its a strategy by lawmakers. The entire point of the law was to reduce mail in voting because of the 2020 election.

Voter suppression refers to any measure or strategy that aims to reduce voting, especially among specific groups based on race, ethnicity, political affiliation, age, or other identity factors.

Voter suppression doesnt mean you arent allowing people to vote. It's just a strategy to reduce votes. Black voter turnout dropped in Georgia after the law passed.

Well of course not. Has anyone argued otherwise or is this just another strawman?

They fully expected with this law, that those that should not be voting won't be able to go and get an ID to vote.

ok, except the bill had zero aim to do that. claiming so doesn't make it true. you have to live in a pretty dystopic world to think that trying to clean up fraud by making people prove who they are (about the lowest bar possible) is some type of strategy to make blacks and hispanics not vote. again, you must really have a low outlook on blacks and hispanics ability to perform basic functions such as acquiring an ID.

I actually feel bad for people like you.

Exactly. That's why it is suppression. Im not telling you you should care or be upset. Just saying that by the book it fits the definition suppression. At least some of us arent in denial over that.

every legal citizen, yes. i guess perhaps you think illegals should be allowed to vote. there's really no other reason to argue against proving who you are.

Wow. Just wow.

Not only have you argued that voting is voter suppression, you have now argued that not allowing illegal voters to vote is voter suppression.

But hey, you've already said you are in favor of voter suppression. You just have a very weird complex about needing others to admit they are in favor of your definitino of it too, it seems.

If someone can go their whole life without caring enough to get a single form of ID like millions of legal citizens choose to do, why on God's earth would you think they care enough about voting that that is gonna be the thing that makes them change their ways and finally go get one?

Theres nothing in the constitution that says a citizen needs ID to vote.

Theres also nothing that demands every citizen have an ID.

i can't speak to someone's laziness. But showing an id to vote isn't suppression. It's just common sense. I think most people understand that. But well here we are with some of you...

Another strawman. I never said there was. Reading comprehension seems to be a struggle for you too. No wonder you don't understand the definition of voter suppression that you provided.

How do you know this was the “aim” of the law? The aim was to make sure valid voters were voting.

Laziness is the suppression not the law.

Laziness cannot be voter suppression because laziness isnt a legal action.

So laziness is the suppressing factor. Thanks for admitting that once again.
