FOLKS, LARRY'S COMMENT ABOVE IS CRUCIAL IN RECOGNIZING THE DANGER TO VOTING RIGHTS THAT GEOGIA'S BILL REPRESENTS.
The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights has been clear about the confusion liable to happen as a result of this bill, thus making it easy for the board to dismiss local election officials providing opportunities to tamper with election results. A link to The Lawyers' Committee is below for a clearer understanding of the crucial 'small print' within Georgia's voting bill.
Larry, Would it be possible for you to elucidate this aspect of the bill? The link is below.
There appears to be doubt that voters' lines will actually be addressed. More to the point, portions of this bill seem aimed at making it more difficult for support groups to help get voters to the polls, comfort them on the lines, etc., with the aim to disrupt volunteer organizations enabling older people, workers and minorities get to the polls.
I didn't see the Lawyer's comments on how dismissing election officials provides opportunities to tamper with election results.
I read the Gwinnett County lawsuit, which is interesting given Gwinnett County is Democrat. I'll have to look up the judge's decision.
when I looked at the bill, I didn't see anything that would stop people/parties/organizations from helping get the vote out, meaning taking them to the polls, etc. It happens in every state so I doubt Georgia would not allow it.
Comforting voters while in line is problematic in the way the language is written. As I stated to TPJ below, this has to do with electioneering/campaigning within a certain distance of a voting location. As far as I know, no state allows it. And its here that the water issue is addressed both in stating that people can't receive while in line. But, there is an obligation by the election official to provide an unattended table with water for voters while in line. The question is where does the line begin? Is it outside the 150 foot spot from where campaigning can not take place, or a mile and a half back. But, they also addressed that issue as well.
