A federal judge on Friday narrowed a section of Georgia election law that banned the practice of handing out food and water to voters waiting in line to cast ballots, as well as halted enforcement of a requirement that voters put their birth dates on the outer envelope of their ballots.

    That’s the thing which seems so barbaric to me. I’m in a state with 100% mail-in ballots, and I’ve never stood in a line to vote. Neither has anyone else in my state since mail-in became the standard.

    When turnout is really, really high, there might be, like, four people ahead of me if I’ve procrastinated and missed the mail-in date and have to use a ballot drop-box.

      But you see letting people vote is woke or communist, or whatever word Bingo the right has decided.

        It’s duckspeak, and the fact that it’s so effective is horrifying. They go around making literally meaningless word-like noises - not one of them could coherently define either “woke” or “communist” if you offered them a million dollars to do it - and yet they squawk both words endlessly.
