Can you, pretty please, point to one part of the current GA voting laws, which have different voting rules for blacks? Because that’s what Jim Crow was.

The rules aren't different. They have just found ways that people vote that are more popular amongst Blacks and have changed those bc they impact Blacks more. They looked at the huge Black turnout in the last election and said how can we lower it? It looks like Black's use drop boxes more, so let's do away with many of the drop boxes (limit it to 1 per 100K people - so it impacts the crowded Urban areas which are more Black in GA and contain 1/3 of the Black pop. in GA). We know many of the polling locations in Black areas were packed and people had to wait for hours so let's limit the amount of water people can give those Blacks who have been waiting in line for hours in the hope those Blacks leave. They banned the use of mobile election sites. The R controlled legislature now has more control over elections. It goes on and on.
So why did Georgia decide to change their voting law and was it only a coincidence these changes occurred after huge Black turnout and R election loses?
