It is incredibly frustrating to try and explain to people who live in an alternative universe why SB202 suppresses the vote. I have said this before but it is worth repeating, SB202 was predicated on a BIG LIE because Donald Trump lost the 2020 Election.
If my Republican Colleagues who won their race in the 2020 Elections thought there was fraud then they should not accept their own victory. Even Georgia’s GOP lieutenant governor says Giuliani’s false fraud claims helped lead to restrictive voting law: SEE HIS STATEMENT HERE
Republicans have been in control of enacting all election laws in Georgia since 2005; they hold all Constitutional Offices. Their grievance is that the Democratic Party was able to beat them with laws they enacted.
It’s also important for everyone to know that SB202 took exactly one week from inception to becoming LAW and then the signing into law was done behind closed doors, under a painting of a plantation.
The media is focusing on the ID part of the SB202 law, and of course the inhumane part that forbids people from giving food and water to others standing in lines for hours. However, the most egregious part of the Law is the fact that it allows for the State Election Board and Elected Officials in the State of Georgia to remove the SOS (Secretary of State) and any County Board of Registration and Election Officials in order to change Election Results. This would allow what Donald Trump requested from the GA Secretary of State to find him 11,780 votes possible (listen to the request). The State Board of Elections could simply throw out votes or change vote counts.
