				Laws changed for voter integrity
			 
			 
			
		
		
		Yep as we all knew ! .  
  
These rules changed for 1 reason and 1 reason only 
 
new Georgia voting law reduced ballot drop box access in places that used them most 
 
An analysis by NPR, WABE and Georgia Public Broadcasting also found: 
 
More than half of the roughly 550,000 voters who cast their ballot using a drop box in the state's 2020 general election lived in four metro Atlanta counties — Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett — where about 50% of the voters are people of color. 
Under the new law, the number of drop boxes in these four counties plummeted from 107 to 25. 
Nearly 1.9 million people, a quarter of the state's voters, have seen their travel time to a drop box increase from the 2020 election. 
More than 90% of voters who saw an increase in their travel time to a drop box live in cities or suburbs, which are home to most of the state's minority voters and vote heavily Democratic. 
 
The new law, known as Senate Bill 202, requires all 159 Georgia counties to have at least one box — but no more than one per 100,000 voters. Instead of making them available outdoors 24 hours a day as in 2020, the drop boxes must be kept inside early voting locations with limited hours — typically 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.  
 
 
Example after example show how Republicans are afraid of the American voter and the democratic process, and how they use years of re districting district and statehouse  power to cheat and and change election laws to benefit them 
 
While claiming election integrity. And their voters cheer the efforts.

		 Data proves we need some penalties for election fraud, it shows Republicans vote twice or in states they don’t reside in. 
Eliminating means or opportunity hurts those least able to vote

 How do you think nursing home residents vote..  someone collects their ballots  for them 
 
What is ballot collection or harvesting?  
 
It’s a practice in which a voter fills out an absentee ballot, seals it in an envelope and does all the required security checks, like signing the back of the envelope so election experts can verify who voted. Then they entrust it to another person, who drops off the ballot at a mail center or ballot drop-off location.
 
Let hear your conspiracy driven definition. 
 
Or s it in line with Trumps version?
 
Trump’s more recent descriptions of people “grabbing” or “robbing” ballots from mailboxes are not based on any known evidence. The person has to consent to have their ballot be turned in by someone else. What Trump describes would be theft.

 You mean like republicans 
 
In a 2018 congressional election in North Carolina, a political operative for the Republican candidate was charged with crimes related to an alleged scheme to illegally collect absentee ballots before turning them in. The election results were thrown out after this scandal came to light.

		 There isn’t a week that doesn’t go by without a Republican being arrested for Voter Fraud, Sexual Abuse or Campaign 💰theft. 
The husband of a Colorado woman who has been missing for more than two years pleaded guilty on Thursday to casting her mail-in ballot for Donald Trump during the 2020 election, telling FBI agents, “I figured all these other guys are cheating.” 
 
As proven time and again, if it's voter fraud, it's a Republican.

 The GOP really thinks they are fighting a holy war, except the enemy in their eyes is mainstream America.  When you accept the premise they think of it as war, what action is unjustifiable?  What act is beyond the pale if you think you are called by god to take it?
