GA Republicans Pass New Voting Laws

Originally posted by Adam_PoE
Florida Republicans this spring insisted a contentious new election law curtailing access to ballot boxes was needed to prevent electoral fraud. It was not, they said, an attempt to gain a partisan advantage.

But a raft of internal emails and text messages show the law was drafted with the help of the Republican Party of Florida's top lawyer—and that a crackdown on mail-in ballot requests was seen as a way for the GOP to erase the edge that Democrats had in mail-in voting during the 2020 election.

The messages undercut the consistent argument made by Republicans that the new law was about preventing future electoral fraud. The law—labeled "Jim Crow 2.0" by some Democrats—was passed at the strong urging of Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, who signed the bill at an exclusive event aired by Fox News.

"Now many of our Christians have what I call the goo-goo syndrome - good government. They want everybody to vote. I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people, they never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down."
-Paul Weyrich

Trump wrote to Georgia's secretary of state asking him to consider 'decertifying' the 2020 election result

Former President Donald Trump on Friday sent a letter to Georgia's secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, asking him to consider "decertifying" Trump's 2020 election defeat.

The letter, which was posted to Twitter by a Trump spokeswoman, Liz Harrington, claims to have enclosed evidence of "large scale Voter Fraud" in Georgia. -snip

Yup, that was four days ago, 10+ months after the election. Remember how Hillary Clinton was a sore loser because she took several hours to concede in 2016...

He still won’t win with Georgia ffs.

As the House committee investigating the January 6th Capitol riot fights to extract testimony and documents from Donald J. Trump's White House, an Atlanta district attorney is moving toward convening a special grand jury in her criminal investigation of election interference by the former president and his allies, according to a person with direct knowledge of the deliberations.

The prosecutor, Fani Willis of Fulton County, opened her inquiry in February and her office has been consulting with the House committee. Her inquiry is seen by legal experts as potentially perilous for the former president, given the myriad interactions he and his allies had with Georgia officials, most notably Mr. Trump's January call to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, urging him to "find 11,780 votes"—enough to reverse the state's election result.

Adam, it was only just 11,780 votes Trump was asking GA officials to manufacture. Pfft.

Governor Brian Kemp signed new Georgia political maps into law Thursday, finalizing Republican efforts to solidify their majorities in a rapidly changing state as opponents immediately filed three court challenges.

The federal lawsuits allege that both congressional and state maps are racially discriminatory because they reduce the voting strength of people of color who tend to support Democrats. Georgia's population has increased by 1 million since 2010, fueled entirely by people of color as the number of white residents declined.

Plaintiffs in the lawsuits include a variety of civil rights, religious, and political groups, along with individual voters. They include the Georgia NAACP, the Georgia Coalition for the People's Agenda, the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, and the 6th District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church.

Republicans redistricting and enacting laws to limit the voting power of Black citizens? No way!

Plans to close all but one polling place in a rural Georgia county reverberate through a battleground state

"Election officials in a rural Georgia county are weighing plans to close all but one polling place ahead of this year's elections, alarming local voting and civil rights groups.

But the deliberations by the Lincoln County elections board have reverberated far beyond this Georgia community of roughly 7,700 northwest of Augusta. The county is one of six in this battleground state that have disbanded or reconfigured their local election boards in the last year, thanks to recently passed bills by the Republican-controlled Georgia General Assembly." -snip

I'm sure you'll be surprised to hear that the GA election board deciding this is all Republicans. They're planning to win back GA by hook or crook. Similar is happening in several other states.

Republican lawmakers in North Carolina wrote the state's voter ID law with the intent, at least in part, to make it harder for black residents to vote, a panel of state judges ruled on Friday. There is no evidence that legislators who supported the law were motivated by racism, the judges wrote. But it is still discriminatory to target black voters, they said, even if it is done for purely political reasons.

In this case, the political motivation was that black voters almost universally support Democratic politicians, they said. Friday's ruling does not necessarily end the state lawsuit, since a lawyer for N.C. House Speaker Tim Moore criticized the judges and said they plan to appeal. "Once again, liberal judges have defied the will of North Carolinians on election integrity," said Moore attorney Sam Hayes in a press release.

A detailed lawsuit filed by a former Apex City Councilman claims that Republican North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore started an affair with his wife and engaged in group sex with other people seeking political favor. Scott Riley Lassiter is suing Moore and an unnamed John Doe defendant for several claims, including alienation of affections and civil conspiracy.

Court documents allege that Moore "used his position as Speaker to initiate contact and develop a personal relationship with Mrs. Lassiter, despite knowing that she was married to Plaintiff." The lawsuit says Lassiter heard rumors that his wife was having an affair with Moore. On December 21st 2022, Lassiter surveilled his wife after she said she was going to see a movie with a friend, and he found that she went to dinner with Moore at a steakhouse.

So Tim Moore tried to enact laws to make it harder for Black people to vote in North Carolina, plus he literally cucks his fellow Republicans by f**king their wives?

Did I read that correctly?

Yes, you did. You have lots of time to have orgies and affairs when special interest groups who fund your campaigh write all of your legislation. I wonder if he is one of the people Madison Cawthorn was talking about.

Likely is, Cawthorn is a deplorable, but I don't think he was lying about the Republican sex orgies for favors. He did not benefit from dropping that info.

You're deplorable, Bobtard.

Don't call me Bod, buddy.

I called you Bob, you ain't good enough for Boderator.

Don;t call me Bob either, guy

I ain't your guy, friend.
