You went from 4-5 states, down to 1. And then you give me line #183.. which literally has ZERO to do with electors in the electoral college. Its a state election board with a member from the senate (a bona fide and proven nonpartisan, the house, both a democratic and republican party get to select a member too). Just because the section talks about 'electors'... its not the electors we're talking about. This is for a state election board that oversees the elections. The same as every other state. A generally non-partisan board that settles disputes and oversees the non-partisan aspects of the election.(08-06-2021, 06:57 PM)ronald reagan Wrote:Georgia's(08-06-2021, 06:18 PM)vector#1 Wrote: But would you stand in line 8 hours to vote ?

Now if they had the laws they passed in 2021 Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Penn. would step in and change the results. Leave the elections up to the locals like we have always done.
Could you imagine what happened in 2016 if Trump was the loser his people would kill for him. He's got them believing the election was stolen and it's about 30 to 35% of the voters maybe higher.
Now I believe the states have the right to pass there own election laws up to a certain point not to step in and change the results if they don't like them that's why they are doing this in just the states that was close and lost. By your ways I think the blacks or even women would still be not allowed to vote in certain parts of the country without the federal government stepping in.
Then increase the number of precincts. Thats a state problem, not an election problem.
Can you point me to the legislation you keep talking about, please. I want to see that Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin, and Penn changed their election laws to allow the states to override it as you say. Don't send me a news article or a partisan piece. Send me the link to the legislation you're talking about so that I can read the legalese behind it. Or give me a bill number in the legislature.
So, do you support the voting reforms in congress right now? Yes or no. Because you just shot yourself in the foot, if so. You said, "leave the elections up to the locals like.. always". So you can't possibly support a federal takeover of it, especially after such a clear and concise position as that. Thank god.
As far as blacks and women, that was a federal constitutional amendment that made those things happen -- in the 1860s and the early 1900's. So its moot in this dialogue.
Now, provide me the legislation please so I can confirm what you're talking about. And I beg of you.. don't even think about sending me a news article, a think tank study, or a partisan talking point. Lets see the legislation.
line#183

I really have not been following the federal bill but why did they change there voting laws in just the states Trump lost and the close ones
My fault Georgia is the only one where the state legislators can step in and take over the election but it's a start.
Go back and find the section that you meant to find. And don't waste my time with nonsense like that.
There is created a state board to be known as the StateElectionBoard, to be composed
185 of the Secretary of State a chairperson elected by the General Assembly, an elector to be
186 electedby a majority vote of the Senate of the GeneralAssembly at its regular session held
187 in each odd-numbered year, an elector to be elected by a majority vote of the House of
188 Representatives of the GeneralAssembly at its regular session held in each odd-numbered
189 year, and a member of each political party to be nominated and appointed in the manner
190 provided in this Code section. No person while a member of the General Assembly shall
191 serve as a member of the board.
There's the section you pointed me to. This is NOT the electors that you and i are talking about. Not even close buddy. This is a nonpartisan election board.
I don't even know what to think about you now....
Much of the work administering elections in Georgia is handled by the state’s 159 counties.
The law gives the State Election Board new powers to intervene in county election offices
and to remove and replace local election officials. That has led to concerns that the
Republican-controlled state board could exert more influence over the administration of elections, including the certification of county results.
