Republicans Cancel Baseball, Businesses Over Voting Laws
--- Quote ---
> Georgia Republicans are willing to cancel everyone and
everything over their new voting rights law - including
baseball, local businesses, and democracy.

--- Quote ---
> Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday warned
corporations of “serious consequences” if they use their
economic power in support of what he described as far-left
causes, including opposition to a new voting law in Georgia.
>
> “From election law to environmentalism to radical social
agendas to the Second Amendment, parts of the private sector
keep dabbling in behaving like a woke parallel government,”
McConnell said. “Corporations will invite serious consequences
if they become a vehicle for far-left mobs to hijack our country
from outside the constitutional order.”
>
> McConnell’s rebuke comes as a number of corporations,
including Delta Air Lines Inc. and the Coca-Cola Co., have
criticized Georgia’s new election law. Major League Baseball
moved its All-Star Game from Atlanta, a move endorsed by
President Joe Biden.
>
> Some Republicans proposed retaliation against MLB and other
companies that criticize Georgia’s law. South Carolina
Representative Jeff Duncan said he’ll push to end baseball’s
antitrust exemption, a position supported by Senate Republicans
Ted Cruz and Mike Lee.
>
> McConnell dismissed comparisons of Georgia’s new voting laws,
passed by state Republicans, to Jim Crow-era voting restrictions
for African-Americans. He said many states run by Democrats,
including New York, have fewer days of early voting than
Georgia’s new law requires, and he cited polling showing most
Americans favor voter ID requirements.
>
> “Nobody really thinks this current dispute comes anywhere near
the horrific racist brutality of segregation,” he said.
Democrats are trying to use the controversy to pass a sweeping
federal law on voting, he said.
>
> “Our private sector must stop taking cues from the
Outrage-Industrial Complex,” McConnell said. “Americans do not
need or want big business to amplify disinformation or react to
every manufactured controversy with frantic left-wing
signaling.”
>
> Democrats say the Georgia law is intended to depress
Democratic turnout after Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon
Ossoff won two Senate seats in January. Former President Donald
Trump also lost the state to Joe Biden in November’s election,
and he unsuccessfully pressured Georgia officials to overturn
the result.
>
> Georgia’s new voting law includes a new identification
requirement for mail-in ballots instead of signatures, which
defenders of the law say will make the system less subjective.
Voters have to write down their driver’s license number or
provide an alternative.
>
> The law also gives the legislature more power over elections,
shrinks the time frame for requesting an absentee ballot and
other steps that limit voting access. The law allows drop boxes
for mail-in ballots — which were allowed this past year under
pandemic rules — but with strict limits on their use.
>
> It would also hold runoff elections just four weeks after the
first round of voting. The runoffs that elected Warnock and
Ossoff came two months after November’s election.

Nicolle Wallace Calls Georgia’s New Voting Law ‘Racism Plus
Corruption’
--- Quote ---
> Nicolle Wallace speaks with Princeton University Professor
Eddie Glaude, former Obama White House press secretary Robert
Gibbs, and POLITICO national correspondent Betsy Woodruff Swan
about Georgia’s lieutenant governor saying that the false claims
of fraud spread by Rudy Giuliani helped lead to the state’s new
restrictive voting law.

--- Quote ---
> A former Georgia deputy said he had plans to charge Black
Georgians with felonies to prevent them from voting, according
to court filings in the Middle District of Georgia.
>
> Cody Griggers, 28, pleaded guilty on Monday to one count of
possession of an unregistered firearm. He was fired from his
position in November 2020 after FBI investigators messaged the
Wilkinson County sheriff about the investigation into Griggers,
the Raleigh News & Observer reported.
> ...
> In August 2019, Griggers wrote in the group that he used
excessive force on a theft suspect and said the beating was
"sweet stress relief."
>
> "I beat the s--- out of a n-----t on Saturday," he wrote.
"Sherrif's dept said it look like he fell."
>
> Griggers also said he planned to charge Black Georgians with
felonies to prevent them from voting, the court documents show.
>
> "It's a sign of beautiful things to come," Griggers said.
"Also I'm going to charge them with whatever felonies I can to
take away their ability to vote."
> ...
> Two months after detailing his plan to strip Black Georgians
from being able to vote, Griggers reiterated his desire to
disenfranchise voters in the event of a second Civil War, the
filing shows.
>
> "I think it might be best to fight the next generation,"
Griggers wrote in the group text. "Castrate, kill, remove voting
rights, and also educate the population. Basically kill and f---
the enemy out of existence."

Florida Republicans Pass New Voting Restrictions Targeting
Mail-in Ballots
--- Quote ---
> Florida Republicans passed a series of sweeping voter
restrictions Thursday targeting mailed ballots, drop boxes and
other popular election methods, becoming the latest
GOP-controlled state to tighten voting rules after massive
turnout in 2020.
>
> The bill now heads to Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, who just
months ago touted the efficiency and security of the
presidential election in one of the nation’s most politically
important states. He is expected to sign it.
>
> Republicans said the legislation, passed on a party-line vote,
was needed to guard against fraud, after former President Donald
Trump made unfounded claims that the presidential election was
stolen from him. Democrats said the move is a partisan attempt
to keep some voters from the ballot box.
>
> Much of the debate focused on vote-by-mail ballots and how
they are collected and returned.
>
> If the bill is signed into the law, drop boxes would only be
available when early voting sites are open. In some counties,
voters could use the drop boxes at any time of the day to submit
their completed ballots.
>
> Additionally, those drop boxes would have to be supervised by
elections officials.
>
> Another focus is on voting by mail, including the use of drop
boxes and so-called “ballot harvesting.” The latter is a
practice Republicans have long sought to limit because of their
worry that outside groups could tamper with the completed
ballots they collect.
>
> The measure was far different from some of the more severe
measures proposed initially, including an outright ban on ballot
drop boxes and a requirement to present identification when
dropping off those ballots.

Racist Relic Caught Creeping Into New Texas Voter Suppression
Bill
--- Quote ---
> Rachel Maddow looks back at how the phrase "purity of the
ballot box" in the Texas constitution was used as the basis for
excluding Black Americans from all-white primaries, and shares
video of Texas State Rep. Rafael Anchía calling out Texas State
Rep. Briscoe Cain, Republican chair of the Texas State House
Elections Committee, for including that phrase in the new Texas
voter suppression bill.

Republicans Attempt To Pass Wave of Voter Restriction Bills
Across The Country
--- Quote ---
> As Republican state legislatures seek to pass a wave of bills
restricting voting rights and the right to protest, there’s one
key wedge issue that continues to drive conservative voters to
keep these lawmakers in office. Meghan Milloy, Founder &
Executive Director of “Republican Women for Progress” and
bestselling author Matt Dowd, Founder of “Country Over Party”
and Former Chief Strategist of the Bush-Cheney administration,
join American Voices with Alicia Menendez to discuss the state
of the post-Trump.
