Stacey Abrams lied about GA voter laws, now upset by consequences

Stacey "Not Gov." Abrams

Stacey Abrams, the failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate, whined for weeks about and spread lies about the state's new voting reform law. She said it was "a redux of Jim Crow in a suit and tie.” And it was her lies about the bill that likely scared the cowards of Major League Baseball to move the All-Star game out of Atlanta.

The loser gubernatorial candidate's full statement to MLB is as follows:

Republicans who passed and defended Senate Bill 2020 did so knowing the economic risks to our state. They prioritized making it harder for people of color to vote over the economic well-being of Georgians.

Like many Georgians, I am disappointed that the MLB is relocating the All-Star game; however, I commend the players, owners and League commissioner for speaking out. I urge others in positions of leadership to do so as well. As I have stated, I respect boycotts, although I don’t want to see Georgia families hurt by lost events and jobs. Georgians targeted by voter suppression will be hurt as opportunities go to other states. We should not abandon the victims of GOP malice and lies – we must stand together.

Georgia Republicans must renounce the terrible damage they have caused to our voting system and the harm they have inflicted on our economy. Our corporate community must get off the sidelines as full partners in this fight, acknowledging that the provisions of SB 2020 do not expand voting rights. They restrict those rights, affecting employees and consumers alike. And leaders must publicly support the voting rights provisions in the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to mitigate the harm being done in Georgia and other states.

As other events, productions and businesses weigh whether to patronize Georgia, I urge those who can to come and speak out, and I urge those who are here to stay and fight, to stay and vote. We need you.

Her statement is a clear example of an obese woman being caught between a rock and a harder rock. She had to compliment the players for her faux outrage [if it's real, she's an imbecile] over the faux disenfranchisement of people of color while imploring them to keep the game in Atlanta. 

But the bill did not make it harder for people of color to vote--it made it easier.

The left-leaning Washington Post fact-checked the sundry complaints about the Georgia bill, which resulted in the finding that the experts it spoke to said “the net effect was to expand the opportunities to vote for most Georgians, not limit them.”

Specifically, the left-leaning Washington Post found that while house plant President Joe Biden and others claimed the new law “ends voting hours early so working people can’t cast their vote after their shift is over,” the new law does not at all limit voting hours. In fact, it extends them. 

Critics of the bill also falsely claimed the new Georgia bill would prohibit food or drink from being passed out to people waiting in line to vote. This is not a lie; it's a damn lie. The people who cannot pass out food, water or political literature to those in line waiting to vote are politicians and their staff within 150 feet of the polling area. And people are allowed to bring their own water and food if they think they'll starve or dehydrate. Poll workers within the 150 feet of the polling area can provide water or food as they see fit.

So Biden, Abrams, the media, and the entire Democratic Party are lying to the public. Even if you love baseball, you need to think about whether to support their decision to bow to the woke crowd or not watch nor attend the game.

Don't be a loser like Stacey Abrams.

White House Plant says he'd "strongly support" moving MLB All-Star game due to Georgia's voting changes

Our barely sentient President Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. will "strongly support" moving the Major League All-Star game out of Atlanta because of better regulated voting laws the state has passed. The house plant said on ESPN Wednesday that the new voting restrictions are "just not right."

The nation's figure head said "This is Jim Crow on steroids, what they are doing in Georgia and 40 other states. What it's all about — imagine passing a law saying you cant provide water or food for someone standing in a line to vote. Can't do that. Come on? Or you close a polling place at 5 o'clock when working people just get off?

"This is all about keeping working folks and ordinary folks that I grew up with from being able to vote. Come on," he lied, using his signature 'come on' without the 'man' at the end.

Biden might look like Banjo Boy from "Deliverance," or Walter, Jeff Dunham's cute old man dummy, but don't be fooled. Biden is now a tool of the far-left and he may not even realize it.

Biden's statement came as a backlash against the new limits grew.

So let's examine the new "limits" as noted by the Governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp (R) who spoke on Fox News and not the mainstream left media, and unlike Biden, he was able to do so without written notes or a teleprompter. Kemp called Biden's rhetoric disingenuous and completely false. In other words, the cute old Banjo Boy lied.

Kemp explained that SB 202 does the following:

First, it actually expands access to early voting across Georgia by requiring 2 mandatory Saturdays and allowing local election officials the option of up to two Sundays during early voting. This applies to all 159 counties in the state for the first time and this increases the voting result hundreds of hours of more early voting opportunities across the state--the opposite of voter suppression and nothing to do with Jim Crow laws the Democrats had implemented and for which they don't like to take credit.

SB 202 requires all voters to provide a driver’s license or a free state ID card number to request and submit an absentee ballot. This replaces the cumbersome signature match process, thereby significantly streamlining – and securing – absentee ballot verification and tabulation. 

Every Georgia voter must already present some form of photo ID to vote in-person and the GOP refuses to infantilize any group of voter by suggesting they cannot obtain identification as the Democrats constantly imply.

For the first time ballot drop boxes – which were not available to Georgia voters prior to the COVID-19 pandemic – are mandated in every county, while also ensuring all drop boxes are secured around the clock. It's probably the latter part in which the drop boxes would be secured that disturbs the Democrats because it helps to eliminate tampering with the ballots inside.

 

SB 202 also protects polling locations from electioneering by private individuals, a common measure taken throughout the country in every state. If a person who is in line to vote is within 150 feet, election officials may provide water at stations. Beyond 150 feet, as previous Georgia law allowed, private individuals can provide water, pizza or anything else they wish to hand out in their effort to campaign for the vote of those waiting to do so. 

Biden lied by saying that people in line would not be able to receive water if thirsty. That's almost as bad as throwing an infant over the southern border wall. 

In addition, SB 202  requires local election officials to continue tabulating votes until counting is complete and mandates the use of security paper to ensure complete authentication of ballots. Democrats don't like that idea because it may result in results that favor Republicans.

The reforms obviously have zero to do with "voter suppression" or "Jim Crow" as Biden claims they do. Liars believe the people they lie to are not bright enough to know they are being lied to, and sometimes liars are correct. Those people who believe lies without checking the facts are most often people on the far-left and the far-right. But the left would even have you believe that everyone in the Republican Party is on the far-right, which is nonsense.

The Election Integrity Act makes it significantly easier to vote by expanding access to the polls and harder to cheat by ensuring the security of the ballot box. It's the cheating part that bothers the left.

If Major League Baseball allows politics to dictate their decision as to where the All-Star game is to be played, then it's no longer America's pastime as far as this writer is concerned.
