2024 U.S. Presidential Election Thread: Donald Trump wins & will return to the White House; GOP wins U.S. Senate & U.S. House
- Thread starter FAH1223
- Start date
they are literally trying to stop the count, they can start counting ballots from heavy republican districts and run the clock until getting to districts that lean democrat. they stopped the count in florida and thats how they stole the presidency in 2000. kemp is pure scum, they spent decades ensuring there would be long uncomfortable voting lines for black folks and now they are further sabotaging an effective means of voting because it no longer benefits them.
Kemp can’t be that bad. Killer Mike loves him
Georgia just made it a lot easier to challenge elections — and a lot harder to vote in them
A trio of new laws have been signed by Georgia Governor Brian Kemp including one bill that allows anyone to issue as many challenges as they like to a voter's eligibility and more.

Georgia just made it a lot easier to challenge elections — and a lot harder to vote in them

With the 2024 presidential election just six months away, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on has signed legislation that makes critical changes to the state’s election laws, including expanding the options to challenge a voter’s eligibility and making scanned ballots available publicly online.
That’s not all. Legislation enacted Tuesday also establishes that all election workers in Georgia be U.S. citizens and for this year’s presidential race, there will now be a reduction in the number of election machines. There will be only one machine per every 250 voters. The Peach State has a long reputation of voters experiencing long lines at polling places whether it is for primaries or general elections. In 2020, as The Washington Post and several other news outlets reported nationwide, voters waited six or more hours in Cobb County alone to cast their ballots.
Kemp approved the batch of laws on the last day of the Georgia General Assembly’s legislative session.
As passed, Senate Bill 189 establishes new “probable cause” criteria that allows state residents to challenge a voter’s qualifications to vote. That would include evidence that a person has died, evidence that the person has voted in another jurisdiction, evidence that the person has obtained a homestead exemption on their taxes or that they are registered to cast their ballot from a non-residential address.
Voters can also now be taken off the rolls in Georgia within 45 days of an election. That would seem to run afoul of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, which the Justice Department notes bars removal of voters from voter rolls within 90 days of the election.
The American Civil Liberties Union said that the legislation Kemp signed this week was “unrealistic” and that it struck “at the heart of our democracy.” Andrea Young, the executive director of the ACLU, has also threatened to sue Kemp.
Supporters of the legislation argue the bill is a way to eliminate discrepancies and duplicative data on voter rolls; opponents say the bill will make it harder for people to vote and harder for election workers to process ballots efficiently. In 2021, Georgia passed a law permitting any single voter to issue an unlimited amount of challenges to voter eligibility and this prompted a tidal wave of challenges to ensue, gumming up early voting in the state.
Notably, part of SB 189 permits any presidential candidate from any party to appear on the ballot so long as they have been qualified in at least 20 other states. This could be a potential boon for independent candidates who may otherwise struggle to gain traction nationally.
Further, the legislation eliminates the use of QR codes on ballots for counting purposes but that won’t begin until July 2026. QR code scanning is currently in effect in the state.
And for people who are homeless in Georgia, SB 189 stipulates that they must now use a county voter registration office for their primary address, not wherever they may live or have access to temporary housing.
Absentee ballots must also be tabulated and reported an hour after polls close under the new law.
A voting rights advocacy group in Georgia, Fair Fight Action, told The Associated Press after the Republican governor signed the laws that Kemp “delivered a gift to MAGA election deniers.”
In addition to SB 189, Kemp also signed House Bill 974 and House Bill 1207 into law.
HB 974 is what Georgia Republicans like Kemp have heralded as a public transparency law. Going into the 2024 election, it will now be possible for the public to access a database where scanned ballots will be uploaded online but cleared of any personal identifying information.
It is unclear what cybersecurity measures Georgia will have in place to ensure ballot source data is not hacked or otherwise made public before any necessary redactions are made or who will be performing quality control on redactions, if any. A representative for Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.
HB 974 does state, however, that “digital images of the scanned ballots created as part of the preliminary tabulation process shall be posted no later than 5:00 PM on the second Friday following the day of the election” and that the postings must be supplemented with “any additional ballot images” through the final certification of the election.
By signing HB 1207, Kemp has now enforced a requirement across the state that all election workers be U.S. citizens. The law also reduces the number of voting machines at every polling location. There are only allowed to be one machine for every 250 voters. For perspective, in 2022, local Georgia outlet WXIA confirmed with the state secretary that were at least 7,008,203 active voters. Importantly, active is also considered different from “total” voters.
You're talking about millions of mail in ballots and you're expecting to be counted within a monthbreh, i really dont see how we have the leeway to complain about requiring absentee ballots to be counted by election night
it's just not an unreasonable demand. vote on election day, or get your shyt in on time. they go out like a month early

The thing is nowadays these kinds of last ditch efforts to disenfranchise usually end up backfiring.
Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted
This is beyond retarded and will ultimately put the US behind.
to count the votes that come in by election day
so you idiots want to push "election day is now "get your ballot in by thanksgiving month" ", and you think that's gonna remotely flyYou're talking about millions of mail in ballots and you're expecting to be counted within a month
well, wait until trump starts talking about how it's gonna bring down gas prices in october. and we'll see how it's received by voters, compared to biden's awful "just go buy an electric car" messaging that i've been warning about
to count the votes that come in by election day
This really isn't as hard as you're making it. It's the 8PM cutoff that's the problem. They're saying all absentee votes need to be counted by 8PM. Those are usually the last to be counted, as day of/walk up votes take priority. Additionally, if they count ALL mail in ballots as absentee, that obviously poses a problem.
then what the fukk was it like before
you're arguing for something that doesnt exist, as if GA is changing it
if the far left doesn't appreciate what biden just did, announcing he's cutting off aid to israel, then trying to appease them is no longer politically viable 
i hope he says fukk them, and pivots back to the center
it's a terrible idea to lose swing voters over these impossible to please, childish leftists. not crediting biden for stopping weapons to israel is insane, and proof that they're unserious people who dont even know what they want

Biden can't sit on his ass 6 months bashing reporters, protestors, etc until it's apparent it hurts him politically and do an about face. He's gutless. Fukk him and fukk you. If he loses it's his own fault not mine. Almost everyone had no problem with Israel going after Hamas. It was when Israel bombed hospitals, safe zones, killed reporters, raped kids and prisoner , bombed schools and refugee camps along with calling Palestinians dogs. That's what we had problems with. Actions have consequences and if it leads to another Trump presidency we'll this won't be what caused it. Trump should be in prison right now but Merrick the Meek made sure to prevent thatif the far left doesn't appreciate what biden just did, announcing he's cutting off aid to israel, then trying to appease them is no longer politically viable
