This state will become totally blue in the next coming election. .....THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN

I’m embarrassed and horrified at this. A knock on the door and Kemp said she was kicking n screaming.

Trump asked/demanded Kemp overturn last year’s election and declare him the winner. Last year that was not legally possible, now it is. The new mechanics if Ga voting.

She's absolutely right. Georgia GOP is just a front group for the KKK nowadays

That's a damn shame they man handled park cannon because she wanted to watch the racist bigots in the Georgian government sign the paperwork to make it harder for black people to vote in Georgia. So that goes to show you that these bigots didn't want anyone to see their wrong

What exactly was her crime? She knocked on a door.

He didn’t commit a crime..... but you are a lawbreaker.... and not very smart either

If this ain't fascism I'll kiss your ass. 'Question me? Suffer prison time' Putin .... Wait a minute my mistake .. Kemp

Gov. Kemp should dress the part he is playing. A white robe and peaked hood with eye holes, a cross in one hand and a noose in the other. Mildly put, he is a Republican racist southern bigot. Loves cheating, hates level playing fields. Typical GOP member.

DenbrotS If this isn't proof politicians shut out everybody else, I don't know what is.

This was staged.

PoliticsNation of COURSE...it is

I.D. or take a hike!

This is awful

Good, lock her up. We don’t need terrorist running around our streets.

Everyone... should have to show a valid, photo, ID to be able to vote. Period. Stupid Humans

The net change is actually easier access to voting. No wonder our country is screwed we have the blind leading the blind out here.

Well this is very embarrassing Republicans at their best. Someone knocks at the door you have them arrested. Can you say coward were you afraid of one person.

THROW HER IN JAIL FOLLOW THE RULES BLACK'S DON'T FOLLOW RULES THEY BREAK THEM.

Monsters!

The bill expands voting. Come on. Read it. I dare you.

Rep. Park Cannon is correct.

Yeah they want to cheat again in 2022. This bill makes it harder to cheat , just be honest about it. It's not like anyone will do anything about it

There’s no restriction on voting just added security to preventfraud, that should make everybody happy it gives value to their vote
