A federal judge on Friday narrowed a section of Georgia election law that banned the practice of handing out food and water to voters waiting in line to cast ballots, as well as halted enforcement of a requirement that voters put their birth dates on the outer envelope of their ballots.
That’s the thing which seems so barbaric to me. I’m in a state with 100% mail-in ballots, and I’ve never stood in a line to vote. Neither has anyone else in my state since mail-in became the standard.
When turnout is really, really high, there might be, like, four people ahead of me if I’ve procrastinated and missed the mail-in date and have to use a ballot drop-box.
But you see letting people vote is woke or communist, or whatever word Bingo the right has decided.
It’s duckspeak, and the fact that it’s so effective is horrifying. They go around making literally meaningless word-like noises - not one of them could coherently define either “woke” or “communist” if you offered them a million dollars to do it - and yet they squawk both words endlessly.
And I’m in a state where I never really waited in line even before mail in voting was expanded.
My voting place has always been the nearby elementary school, and I usually go at peak time, on my way to or from work. Yes, admittedly I’ve had to wait outside the classroom for a minute or two, but that’s not the kind of line we’re talking about
Actually, it’s always been so easy to vote, that I usually Fido t bother with all the effort to find the mail in ballot and take it all the way to a mailbox
