So much for voter suppression that we keep hearing about. I guess Democracy is alive and well which is counter to the Democrats message.

Yes, they are saying that based on what has happened in the past. They aren't predicting the future. It doesn't even matter if there was or wasn't in the past, it's silly to suggest the trend for this current election proves or disproves any of that. What if there was 0 suppression before and now there is still 0? What if them talking about it so much in the last few years put a spotlight on it so that things were fixed enough to allow for turnout.

That's right, because I am assuming their "current" claims about suppression is in the general sense and was based on info from previous elections. Hence, one data point of early high numbers doesn't prove or disprove anything, and I gave a couple scenarios that could explain why that is. More what it proves to me is how partisan some posters are and how quick they are to latch on to the one thing that might make the other team look bad.

Also, both can be true - there can be voter suppression attempts and record turnouts. I thought we all were in agreement that things should be looked at from all angles and narratives questioned. I guess not in this case. Proof voter suppression was a lie!!

If anyone took the time to read the changes in the law it would have been clear that the ultimate result was greater access to polls. In the original thread I argued as much. Instead you got these sound bite politicians with the "Jim Crow 2.0" crap. MLB should play the All-Star game in Atlanta for the next decade as an apology for moving it without understanding the effects.

Connecticut has no early voting at all. Seems pretty suppressive compared to the Georgia laws. Rhode Island’s voter ID law sounds pretty suppressive as well. They also require not one but 2 witness signatures when casting an absentee ballot. Must be all those Republicans in their state legislature.

Nope. Current claims were based on the law that went into effect. Or do you think MLB pulled the all star game last year because they felt there was voter suppression in the 2018 and 2016 elections?

Voter Suppression!!!!
“Voter turnout in Georgia reached historic highs on the first day of early voting in this midterm election, and Black Voters comprised 35% of all those who turned out to vote. Compared to the last midterm election in 2018, Georgians far exceeded the early voting numbers for the first two days and came very close to the 2020 results, according to data from the Secretary of State. In doing so, the Black male vote total was 46,016, in comparison to 38,792 in 2018. We at Black Voters Matter never doubted the commitment of Black voters to use the ballot box to bring about change.”
