this is your go-to.....don't debate the precise, valid point I made.  Just avoid it with crap.

When you back up the invented problem with a legislative "fix", it gives the invented problem a semblance of being real.  Period.

Yet another disgusting display by a particular party, with the backers of that party shrugging and asking "what's the harm?" 

A perception exists among SOME that the election laws here were inadequate to ensure less fraud.  The new bill was meant to address that impression, while doing relatively little in real terms.  A LOT of legislation is largely imagery, and this is no exception.  Imagery, on BOTH sides, folks calling it "Jim Crowe" are just are wrong as folks who claimed there was wide spread fraud in Georgia this past election.

Imagery, a LOT of politics is imagery.  And this bill did almost nothing to limit voting rights.  Disgusting display?  That's an opinion.  To me, it's close to a nothing, it did clean up some vague rules in the previous wording, to the extent it was needed, like "work hours" now meaning 9-to-5 for early voting.

The actual restrictions here are far less than many other states have like NY and DE.

A good habit is to look past all the imagery and spin and seek what actually happened and why.

I know, I know....anyone against the thing is brainwashed and just being against it because they're told to.   

Guys, all of your radical, left-winger boogeymen aren't lefties, they're moderates.  And it's why the Republicans are acting like a wounded animal in a corner.

The actual substance of this new law is pretty moderate and changes relatively little.

Voting laws here remain more liberal and open than in many other states.  We retained "no excuse absentee voting".  Check how many other states allow that.

The angst is misplaced, and the spin is epic, which is par for the diamond.

If someone voiced an actual substantive objection to a specific that would be nice, instead of generalities which often are simply incorrect.

And of course, at least SOME of the "left wingers" really are quite a bit Left of the mainstream in the country.

Whats interesting is that MLB wants to move the all star game to New York which has stricter voting laws then the new Georgia law

She'd slap you for even suggesting that and I don't think photo shop could gussie up my photo enough to fetch her interest.Fairly certain Cindy wouldn't appreciate that arrangement either.But it appears Fearless has landed in a new watering hole,he certainly found the Ladies Tee
