40,000 voter registrations missing in Georgia

Should have read a bit further in the article:

More than 50,000 of the paper forms submitted by the group seemed to be lost in the state’s voting system, Lawyers’ Committee attorney Julie Houk said last week. They neither appeared on voter rolls nor did they show up on lists of “pending” voters who have been asked to provide more information to verify who they are, she said.

An additional 5,000 of the forms appeared on pending lists, but Houk said some of the forms showed the information originally submitted — such as the last four digits of a person’s Social Security number — to be accurate. In other words, the Lawyers’ Committee questioned why these voters must provide additional proof of identification.

I think it's safe to say that there's something rotten in Hahira, and it has the peculiar Republican aroma of voter suppression about it. As for listing for deceased or felons, I'll point out that in other states where this has been alleged, there hasn't been a whole lot to it because most of the supposed fraud resulted from clerical errors - that is, the people were alive and well and either not felons or had had their voting rights restored. Furthermore, even if the people who ran the drive knew about incorrect or incomplete applications, they were still obliged to turn them in.

 

The part I quoted was the response to the allegations of the part you quoted. The allegation was surrounded allegations around 85K forms. If you read your cherry picked quote out of context, the issue would be about 120K+ forms. It is why they say "seemed" instead of "seems". So the only real issue is about the up to 20K forms like did they actually exist, are they being processed, are they being held up, have they been disqualified etc.

 

Sorry, but you are wrong. Varies from state to state ... with MANY having no specific laws or rights for the employee, leaving it up to employer.

For instance, here's ND:

The law "encourages" employers to establish a program to allow an employee to be absent for the purpose of voting if the employee's work schedule conflicts with voting during the time polls are open. This is voluntary for employers. There is no guaranteed right to be absent.​

Florida, where some voters waited up to 4 hours in line in 2012? No specific law, but i'm sure all those folks have employers who paid for that out the kindness of their hearts.

I haven't honestly. I moved into the town I am in about 13 yeras ago. At that time I went to the local Town hall offices and registered there, and I havent looked back since. Never had an issue.

Not sure why anyone really needs these third party groups to do that for them, hence my suspicion with them.

 

Sure thing Al Jazeera. ROFL at the double standard. Do they even realize it? Doesn't seem so. I guess AJ just forgot to mention the fraud investigations that grok posted with respect to that particular registration group. Funny that.

Rest assured, in a post 2000 world, no SOS of any persuasion wants to give any group of any bent reason to question their ethics. They are the most visible bureaucrats in the state after the governor, very heavily scrutinized on every little thing by the party out of power, and if the left actually understood politics in other than a puerile, gullible way, they'd take any claims of blatant losing or hiding of 40,000+ forms with a GIGANTIC grain of salt.

 

Another one of my favorite leftist canards. If one doesn't want to wait in line to vote, go to the polls solo as opposed to boarding a huge line of buses that are all heading to -one- of several polling locations ON PURPOSE and unannounced to give the appearance of unfair voting practices against minorities.

That's right, all those pictures of "long lines of disenfranchised, suppressed black and brown voters waiting forever," utterly concocted BS, transparent to reasonably intelligent people. Unfortunately most people, and certainly most leftists, aren't reasonably intelligent, so the canard works year in and year out.

 

Mhmmmmm. Yep, exactly as expected and predicted. How DARE they suppress Mr. Good!! How f-ing dare they!! It's a travesty, a complete and utter travesty.

 

Complete BS but a fine & dandy butt-nugget no doubt!

 

Yep- and time does not usually favor your political ideology.

 

And to add insult to injury, there isn't even a DMV in Yo Town for him get proper ID and the evil right wing county registrar would demand that too if they could.

 

Oh you want more. There ARE legitimately long lines at polls in jurisdictions all over the country at every election as well. It's a function of long ballots due to "referendum/amendment bloat" and has nothing to do with discrimination against minorities or voter suppression. One year there will be a long ballot in certain jurisdictions in Fla causing lines, and the leftogandists focus their fabricated lie narrative there. Next election there will be no ballot bloat in Fla, but in Tx or De, and then the liars will be peddling suppression and disenfranchisement snake oil in those areas. The general public has a short memory, and doesn't realize how facilely they are being manipulated by govt-bureau-edu-MSM complex lie narratives like this... literally dozens of them circling like flies around every leftist turd of a talking point... thread is a perfect example.

 

What ideology is that Lee? Honest Elections?

Not sure that's a badge of honor you should want to take pride in....

 

I could think of a lot of reasons for not registering, but I'd guess it comes down to "never got around to it" or "who cares about my one vote" and let it go at that. However, if they are asked, nicely, if they are registered and, if not, would they like to be registered so they can vote, I imagine a lot of people say yes. It only takes a couple of minutes so why not? The problem I have with Georgia is that if there are 40 or 50 thousand people out there who do not have voter ID cards, they may not know where to go to vote. If they are in the wrong place, they may not have time to get to the correct voting location before the polls close.

 

If 40,000 Republican registrations had been lost, would you be asking, 'How many of these "lost" registrations belonged to actual citizens?' ? Yeah, I didn't think so. So when 40,000 registrations are missing that probably contain mostly Democrats, you are going to pretend that they magically don't really belong to citizens. How convenient. Do you have any evidence that any of these registrations are fraudulent? I didn't think so.

 

I suppose you don't think it's odd that Mr Kemp now has pat explanation for the outcome of 40,000 plus registration forms that he said didn't exist a week ago.

I'll believe Johnny B Goode from YoTown when I see it. In any event, an application that says that has to be turned in for verification anyway. That's both state and Federal law. I know you have no idea how election law works. I read your posts.

No, they can't process applications that are missing information or are defective. But state law specifies a deadline for resolving those issues which has passed.

I noticed in your lengthly response that you've switched rationalization for condoning this.

 

There is also an established pattern of GOP dominated states deliberatly placing only one or two voting machines in precincts that are heavily Democratic or minority, when they place eight or ten in precincts that vote the way they want the election to turn out.

That had been done repeatedly in Florida over the past few years. and it was done in Ohio as well.

 

Another fabrication of the left's resentment politics lie narrative on voter suppression, similar to and equally credible with my nutty cousin's claim from the other side that George Soros owns the company that makes all the voting machines and controls them to vote Democrat.

 

Any evidence they ever existed?

I don't care if it's R or D, screwing with elections should be a capital offense.
