Georgia's Very Own Megathread! (v2)

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

This is beyond a joke how Georgia Republicans are trying to deny voting rights and nobody here seems to be genuinely outraged about it.  Yet, Andrew Cuomo makes some silly comment and it generates tons of comments.

You think this might have something to do with making it more difficult for Democrats to vote?

This especially annoys me because of all the crap from the 'both sides are equally bad' idiots that Republicans aren't really authoritarians and really do believe in democracy.

It's a majority black county.  It's run by Republicans?

County officials aren't responsible for the closings. They were orchestrated by... SoS Brian Kemp!

Where do you get this information?   

Every article I have seen on this says it is a decision of the county elections board. The huffpo article even says that Kemp opposes the idea.

There's a very plausible explanation here which is that they are being super careful about not being sued for an ADA violation, and they are not willing to expend any more effort than necessary in order to do come up with a better solution.

There may be a more partisan / factional motivation here, but it isn't required either for explaining this action nor for saying it's something they shouldn't do.

Did somebody really merge both of bronz's GARBAGE THREADS into this sacred ground?
