Storming the Capitol

[Sportello]

That's funny, you think crying racism is going to work in this case?

Do you think Georgia is going to nullify the Voting Rights Act?

 

[Old Man Jingles]

The Supreme Court has consistently ruled that states have control of how they conduct elections. Which means the recent DOJ suit against Georgia is frivolous.

Section 2 Of The Voting Rights Act

www.justice.gov

The only way that Sec 2 will apply is if the law demonstrably negatively affects the Blacks versus the Whites.

I don't think it does but the trail and consequent appeals will reveal the truth.

 

[Sportello]

Too bad the Georgia law doesn't violate any of that.

DOJ just parroted Dem talking points. Doesn't make it true.

I suppose the SCOTUS will decide. So far Section 2 has held up every time. The SCOTUS has ruled it Constitutional. Maybe @floridays can help you out.

I'd wager that the DOJ has a pretty good argument to bring a suit forward. They don't do frivolous law suits.

“One of the fundamental rights of our democracy is the right to vote. That right should be protected for every citizen of our district, regardless of race,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Kurt R. Erskine for the Northern District of Georgia. “The United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia is committed to protecting the rights of all Americans to vote.”


The United States’ complaint contends that several provisions of Senate Bill 202 were adopted with the purpose of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race. The Justice Department’s lawsuit alleges that the cumulative and discriminatory effect of these laws—particularly on Black voters—was known to lawmakers and that lawmakers adopted the law despite this.


The United States’ complaint challenges several provisions of Senate Bill 202, including a provision banning government entities from distributing unsolicited absentee ballot applications; the imposition of costly and onerous fines on civic organizations, churches and advocacy groups that distribute follow-up absentee ballot applications; the shortening of the deadline to request absentee ballots to 11 days before Election Day; the requirement that voters who do not have identification issued by the Georgia Department of Driver Services photocopy another form of identification in order to request an absentee ballot without allowing for use of the last four digits of a social security number for such applications; significant limitations on counties’ use of absentee ballot drop boxes; the prohibition on efforts by churches and civic groups to provide food or water to persons waiting in long lines to vote; and the prohibition on counting out-of-precinct provisional ballots cast before 5 p.m. on Election Day. The complaint asks the court to prohibit Georgia from enforcing these requirements.

Wait for SCOTUS.

Your last sentence seems to be declarative. Speaks volumes.

Do you think Georgia is going to nullify the Voting Rights Act?

Do you think crying racism is going to work in this case?

Do you think crying racism is going to work in this case?

I think there are sound legal arguements that can convince Amy Coney Barrett.

They need to prove racism. Not just claim it.

Just because its a Dem talking point doesn't make it true.

They don't do frivolous lawsuits? Have you been paying attention the last 4.5 years?
