You've equated a person's opinions online and speech online as a reason to wish for painful death upon them, and I'm the irrational one? LOL Ok

It makes sense in their fucked up heads.

Small percentages operating on very large numbers is a lot of people.

Imagine the National Hurricane Center issuing the following warning:
“Hurricane [insert name here] will make landfall in the Miami area tomorrow, there is a 99% survival rate so don’t take any precautions and we are sorry in advance for the 60,000 that we will likely lose their lives.”

Or imagine this weather alert from an emergency preparedness and response official for a smaller rural county located in a “tornado alley.”
“An EF-5 tornado is approaching, but there is a 99% survival rate. It won’t be necessary for you to turn on your weather radios. You can also ignore the outdoor sirens and forget about taking shelter. Only 100 or so people may lose their lives so get over the fear.”

Simple math shows that unchecked spread of the COVID-19 would kill an unacceptable number of people and create a overwhelming burden on the health care system.

And that doesn’t even account for long-term consequences of infection.

Jim Crow 3.0
The state that prides itself on voter turnout election after election after election.

Mn requirement for early voting required only 5 hours of weekend voting for 2020, from 10-3 on Sat before the election.
What's Ga now ? 4 days of 9-5, and includes at least 1 Sunday ?

People stood in line for hours in Mn in Nov. All I remember was 'it's worth it to vote'. But then people stand in line for hours to be the first one in the door at Wal-Mart on Black Friday. Same old same old we do it every year. People can't get tickets for opening day and the ballpark may be 1/4 full the next day. But it's opening day.

Mn doesn't really use ballot boxes. 'Out state' ( rural ) counties that rely on mail in voting may use monitored ballot boxes. Minneapolis had 1 at the government center in downtown Minneapolis for the 440,000 Minneapolis residents.

Mn does not automatically register voters. The voter is responsible and an id is required, which everybody has anyway unless you live in Georgia and have no idea to get one. Actually, there may be a couple of Minnesota residents without an id, and to register requires mailing in a paper application that goes thru a process not indicated in the SOS website.
Mn does allow same day registration, but bring everything you have if you don't have an id. Bring your utility bills, a note from your landlord, or someone to vouch for you. They'll accept something.

N.Y. had 9 days of early voting in 2020. Ga is 17-19, which I believe is more than Colorado.
Delaware didn't have no excuse absentee ballot voting in 2020. They're debating it currently. Ga now has it.
The list can go on, and on, and on.

This is not about voter suppression. It's about getting ready for HR1.

Can you still buy Eskimo Pies?

Edy's Pie is an American brand of chocolate-covered vanilla ice cream bar wrapped in foil. It was the first such dessert sold in the United States. It is marketed by Dreyer's, a division of Froneri. The dessert was rebranded from Eskimo Pie in 2021, because Eskimo is considered a derogatory term

The U.K. has the third-highest death rate in the world (184 deaths per 100,000 population) and the fourth-highest obesity rate with 63.7% of adults classifying as overweight, closely followed by the U.S., which has 152.49 deaths per 100,000 and 67.9% of the population living with obesity.

So America's pass time, making a statement in the midst of a pandemic, that calls out this obvious attempt at voter suppression, is not not good for business? GMAFB!

The best part of this whole thing is that nothing needs to be proven to the crazies. MLB could give a rat's ass if they are happy or unhappy. They made a calculated business decision, period. No extended analysis by MAGA Nation means anything to MLB

This is not about voter suppression. It's about getting ready for HR1.

Your whole post is predicated upon the notion that we, as a country, should not attempt to make it easier to vote, no matter how hard or easy it is to vote. More to the point in Georgia, it's not incumbent upon us to make it equally as easy to vote.

When I went to vote in person in 2018, I went in at 2 PM and was the 8th person my precinct had served the entire day. It's mind boggling that you can't wrap your head around the concept that it's clearly easier for me to vote than the people we see standing in lines. And to understand that because of this, no matter how much dedication those people have, there is no way they will get the same percentage turnout as my precinct will have. And that this is a bad thing.

I think it gets down to the misuse of the term "Suppression" - we hear that word and think of "people being suppressed". But in the concept of voter suppression, it's more like spraying roundup on a field. You won't get every weed, but you'll reduce the overall amount of weeds, to the point where the corn grows fine. That's the point, sure, they *can* vote, and many will. The point isn't to stop every single african american in Georgia from voting.

The point is to just make it a little bit harder. Can't make it radically harder, otherwise the Supreme Court will nuke it. Just little tiny things - because we don't need the turnout to go to zero, we just need the turnout to go from 55% to 52%, just enough to swing the election.

Pathetic.

Edy's Pies. Love 'em or leave 'em. I was going to switch to Klondike bars, but I am not sure if a mispronunciation of a First Nation word is acceptable. Aldi's arctic bars aren't bad.

https://electproject.github.io/Early-Vote-2020G/CO.html

Colorado is an all-mail state, with an in-person voting option.

Doesn't really matter how many early voting days there are if it's an all-mail state, now does it.

They made the decision because the players, and a manager, were not going to show if the game was in GA. Not good for whatever TV ratings are left for an MLB all-star game.
