I don't know about this but I am convinced that the voter suppression laws will on balance hurt the GOP slightly more than Dems, for the same reasons that Dems did better in the 2018 midterm than the 2020 race.

Hopefully this will teach the GOP to focus more on issues improving people's lives than voter suppression. Wait who am I kidding, it won't.

If Georgia’s law is Jim Crow 2.0 , I wonder what Canada’s mail rules are :

You have to apply to get your mail-in ballot for the federal election. And then there’s the ballot itself. Mail-in ballots are also known as special ballots, and are different from those ballots used on election day. They take more work to fill out and submit.

The more familiar election-day ballot has a list of candidates, along with their party if applicable, and a voter checks the box beside a name. Anyone mailing in their vote gets a ballot with no names and a place to write in their choice of candidate — writing in the party name won’t be accepted by Elections Canada. Plus, there is a series of envelopes that must be used in a specific order to submit a mail-in ballot.

You've already used this once today.


Look at my Economic PC score. It's further right than OSR, and nobody complains about him not being a Republican.

I just happen to be very vocal in my opinion that the Republican party is not focusing on those issues, but are instead turning into a theocratic, rural, populist party.

Pretty sure Canada doesn't also remove people from the voter rolls by requiring a flier that looks like campaign material rather than something that looks like official mail. Also Canada has a singular national standard for voting that all places must abide by, rather than each area changing their voting laws when the current ones become inconvenient.

Obviously, not all poor, disengaged people are minorities or Democrats. Voter suppression is morally disgraceful since we want to encourage as many people as possible to vote, higher turnout should be the goal itself not partisan advantage.

Apples to oranges. First of all, Georgia has a century-long history of trying to disenfranchise voters. It is the reason why it was chosen to be included in section 5 of the Voter Rights Act. At least to my knowledge no province of Canada had to have judicial oversight when implementing new voter laws because they have a history of trying to disenfranchise voters.

Second, nothing happens in a vacuum. You can not in good faith say that the majority GOP state legislature coincidently passed a new voter law less than a year after they lost the state for the first time in nearly 30 years.

It is clear what their intentions were and going on with the "people just don't understand" line is disingenuous when the clear undeniable fact is that the GOP is passing laws like these across the nations because they feel that more people voting will negatively affect them politically.

We will see, right? If turnout stays good, then we had nothing to worry about but even if these shenanigans swing some races in a more liberal direction, it would still be wrong.

For now, the GOP ideology is simply government of the rich-and-powerful, by the rich-and-powerful, and for the rich-and-powerful once and for all. This hurts poor white people just as much as it hurts poor black people, and should poor whites get wise to this, then the South will vote as it did in 1976 except in one state: Virginia, which is no longer "Southern" and somehow voted for Gerald R. Ford.

Jerry Ford may not be the greatest President we ever had, but he was overall a good person (much unlike Donald Trump) and would have never made Trump's mistakes.
