DailyKenn.com — President Donald Trump scored a major victory in Georgia where a new election law promises to enhance fair and secure elections. Far-left mainstream media outlets roundly condemned the law as suppressing votes of minorities.
The far-left leveraged the Chinese coronavirus to impose mail in ballots culminating in Joe Biden being inaugurated as president of the United States, even though President Trump scored a landslide record of 75-million votes.
Republicans in Georgia are among the first states to secure democracy through legislation, making it more difficult for the far-left to undermine elections.
The law was passed by both houses of congress in Georgia on Thursday, March 25, 2021.
Here are key details of Senate Bill 202, approved quickly on Thursday by the Georgia House and Senate and then signed into law by Gov. Brian Kemp shortly before 7 p.m.
Absentee ballots would be verified based on driver’s license numbers or other documentation instead of voter signatures.
Ballot drop boxes would only be allowed inside early voting locations and available strictly during business hours.
Weekend voting would be expanded for general elections, with two mandatory Saturdays offered statewide. Counties could also choose to offer early voting on two optional Sundays.
Early voting for runoffs would be reduced to a minimum of one week because runoffs would occur four weeks after general elections.
The deadline to request an absentee ballot would be set 11 days before election day.
Members of the public would be prohibited from distributing food or water to voters waiting in line.
The State Election Board could remove county election boards and replace them with an interim elections manager.
A hotline to report illegal election activities would be set up in the attorney general’s office.
Counties would be required to certify election results within six days, instead of the 10 days currently allowed. Election workers would also be required to count ballots without stopping until they’re finished.
Former President Donald Trump's campaign of lies about a stolen election just delivered a huge victory with a new Georgia law that could suppress the votes of many of the citizens who helped eject him from the White House.
Republican state lawmakers rushed through a broad law Thursday making it harder to vote that disproportionately targets Democratic and Black voters in a battleground vital to the 2020 election and future presidential and congressional contests.
