Yep as we all knew ! .
These rules changed for 1 reason and 1 reason only
new Georgia voting law reduced ballot drop box access in places that used them most
An analysis by NPR, WABE and Georgia Public Broadcasting also found:
More than half of the roughly 550,000 voters who cast their ballot using a drop box in the state's 2020 general election lived in four metro Atlanta counties — Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett — where about 50% of the voters are people of color.
Under the new law, the number of drop boxes in these four counties plummeted from 107 to 25.
Nearly 1.9 million people, a quarter of the state's voters, have seen their travel time to a drop box increase from the 2020 election.
More than 90% of voters who saw an increase in their travel time to a drop box live in cities or suburbs, which are home to most of the state's minority voters and vote heavily Democratic.
The new law, known as Senate Bill 202, requires all 159 Georgia counties to have at least one box — but no more than one per 100,000 voters. Instead of making them available outdoors 24 hours a day as in 2020, the drop boxes must be kept inside early voting locations with limited hours — typically 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Example after example show how Republicans are afraid of the American voter and the democratic process, and how they use years of re districting district and statehouse power to cheat and and change election laws to benefit them
While claiming election integrity. And their voters cheer the efforts.
