Wow this is really well explained! 😳
Here are some of the most significant changes:
- Voters will now have less time to request absentee ballots.
Suppression: Black, Hispanic, and API votes are more likely to request absentee ballots
- It’s now illegal for election officials to mail out absentee ballot applications to all voters.
Suppression: Black, Hispanic, and API votes are more likely to request a mailed ballot
- Drop boxes still exist … but barely.
Suppression: Black, Hispanic, and API voters are more likely to vote through drop boxes because White politicians have removed many voting locations in Black, Hispanic and API neighborhoods in Georgia.
- Mobile voting centers (think an R.V. where you can vote) are essentially banned.
Suppression: Black, Hispanic, and API voters are more likely to vote through mobile voting centers because White politicians have removed many voting locations in Black, Hispanic and Asian American neighborhoods in Georgia.
- Early voting is expanded in a lot of small counties, but probably not in more populous ones.
Suppression: small counties (more vote Republican & are more White), but probably not in more populous ones (who vote Democrat & are more Black, Hispanic, and Asian American)
- Offering food or water to voters waiting in line now risks misdemeanor charges.
Suppression: more Black, Hispanic, and API votes are more likely to wait in lines for hours to vote because of the limited voting places. More White voters live in counties don’t have to wait in line.
- If you go to the wrong polling place, it will be (even) harder to vote.
Suppression: Black, Hispanic, and API votes are more likely to go to the wrong voting locations because their voting locations are often disrupted because of bills like this.
