So why do the Republicans introduce packages of voting restrictions instead of single bills? So, one law seems innocuous. They will even get a Dem or two vote for some. But it’s a game. They build on each other. They get you to focus on one hole but it’s a giant net.
You will get the bill with more weekend voting then another that makes it harder to actually register to vote at all. They keep absentee balloting but outlaw giving people water in line. They restrict hours but “relent” as “compromise.”
Then they sneak in the administrative changes you don’t hear about. Less polling places in black neighborhoods. Reduced staff at the board of elections to register. Close down DMV offices in downtowns. Change the types of required ID. It’s an insidious and duplicitous effort.
The whole time they cry like that worthless Brian Kemp who kicked hundreds of thousands off the voter rolls with a swipe of a pen. They whine about being called racists and New Jim Crow. It’s all an act. Don’t fall for it. This is a roll back of rights to cling to power.
