THREAD: What does voter suppression look like? Here's what Georgia Republicans stuffed inside ONE of the nearly 50 anti-voting bills filed post runoff. #HB531 will:

Prohibit Early Voting on Holidays, Force Counties To Raise Taxes To Pay For Elections, Slashes VBM Application Window By 113 Days, Slash Time Counties Can Mail Ballots From 49 to 29 Days, Require Photocopy of ID for VBM App If No Driver's License, 2/8

Set Restrictive Ballot Return Deadline of 11 Days Before Election, Allow Counties To Set Arbitrary Time For Ballot Return On New Fri Deadline, Require Counties To Pay For 24/7 In-Person Drop Box Security Official, Limits Drop Boxes To Only In EV Locations Only During Voting 3/8

Ban Use Of Drop Boxes After Early Vote Has Ended, Reject Every Single Out of Precinct Ballot, Allow Counties To Allocate Fewer Voting Machines Than Required In Any Election, Allow Problematic Precinct Splitting That Will Confuse Voters, 4/8

Require Voters to Risk Identity Theft to Provide DOB AND Last 4 of SS AND License # On Abs Envelope, Bans Mobile Voting Used Primarily At Nursing Homes During Pandemic, Ban Giving & Accepting Water While In Long Lines, Create New Misdemeanor For Handling Applications, 5/8

This is one bill, in one state, filed by notorious voter suppressor Rep. Barry Fleming, & fueled by lies. We absolutely must pass HR 1, but it is not a panacea and we cannot lose sight of these brazen attacks on our democracy at the state level. /End
