Except if you were paying attention, you'd know that the Georgia bill takes affirmative steps to *reduce* lines caused by bad local government in Georgia. But knowing that would require reading the billhttps://www.nationalreview.com/2021/03/joe-biden-botches-the-georgia-voting-law/ …

One question: If Trump had won Georgia and Warnock and Ossoff had lost, do you really think this bill would have been written at all? I think not, and if I am right and this was a response to GOP losses, then that tells you everything you need to know about this bill.

This is obviously a dodge. If the bill is objectively fine, who cares if the motive is partisan? Do you think Dems lack a partisan motive when they expand early voting/mail in voting, oppose voter ID, etc?

It's not objectively fine. And yes, I think Dems have partisan motives, but their biases makes it *easier* to vote, something I was less sympathetic about when I used to believe that voting should take some civic effort. But that was before the GOP turned pure authoritarian.

One would think that obviously poor choices by voters argues, if anything, for the opposite conclusion.

Can you clarify that? Do you mean that voters making bad choices means that we should make voting harder?

That would be one possible conclusion; it's not mine, but it would be illogical to see people rush into a bad voting decision and become, as a result, *less* sympathetic to the argument that voting should take some civic effort.

Aside from the fact that I think in a democracy the voters have the right to be wrong, I am not in favor of making folding more difficult in any circumstance, especially when an entire political party is dedicated to creating the structure for minority rule.

This is where this argument was always going togo, once you are willing to accept anything as worth the cost of holding onto power then letting people vote in a way that takes that power away also becomes unacceptable. “We can’t let the voters decide, we must decide for them.”
