    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Jonathan Chait

    Notice two things here. One is the continual defining-down of "voter suppression." The other is that it needs to be defined not by reference to what laws actually do, but to intent, which is always a more ambiguous, less objectively falsifiable terrain.https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/1379069763297632268 …

    This is true, as long as you define vote suppression to exclude "Republican laws designed to discourage voting by Democratic constituencies by making voting more of a hassle." https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1379063522731159553 …

        Again, the effort to shift to motive because they are losing the argument on what is actually in the lawhttps://twitter.com/pbump/status/1379075384453529607 …

        It's impossible to assess Georgia's voting-law changes without acknowledging the obvious motivation for passing them. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/04/05/question-about-georgias-election-law-changes-that-has-only-one-answer-why/ …

        "Voter suppression" is anything the Dems say it is.

        Fair enough, but the whole issue still begs the question of why GA, for instance, wrote 98 pages of fixes to elections that multiple recounts showed not to be broken, and why its Sec. of State is a dead man walking in his next R primary for doing his duty.

        Voter suppression is when the Georgia Legislature gives itself the ability to overturn the results of the election because it didn't like the results.

        Replying to @baseballcrank

        Considering the high general turnout always helps democrats, then anything that makes voting even marginally harder is, objectively, voter suppression

        It is simply impossible to argue, for instance, that restricting drop box voting by population is not "voter suppression." It is tautological. It, by definition, decreases voter access. It ain't hard.

        Replying to @wafflepop @baseballcrank

        How does going from zero boxes (old law) to a minimum of one box in each county and up to one per each early voting station equal “voter suppression”?

        I still can't believe how racist these people are, to openly argue that a law that applies equally to everybody is somehow "discouraging" minorities more than white people. They really don't believe Black people can carry a water bottle, or get an ID.

        Chait couldn’t have said it better. Voter suppression has always been the GOP’s ace in the hole (along with gerrymandering). You can repeat the lie that it’s not here but it is.
