And this introduces another subtle aspect of 'white privilege' (I figure you'll be keen for another one, lol), this being that poorer folks and minorities generally have more limitations on getting the time to vote than folks outside of those demographics, or generally have a more difficult experience getting to polling stations when the number of them is limited.
White privilege? "Poorer folks and minorities generally have more limitations on getting the time to vote than folk outside that demographic?"
A few questions from your above quote: Are there not white people among the "Poorer folks?" How is your quote an example of white privilege? What are these limitations on getting the time to vote?
Wow, indeed. You and EA are supposedly crapping kittens over a rural county closing stations, probably because they're not funded and there are about a million other ways to vote that is easier than going to a polling station. AND YET not ONE TIME have I ever heard you two lament the tens of thousand of Black servicemen and women that were denied their voices.
Y'all, as they say in the South, is full shiii.
Shame on you both for using Black people as your little puppets to score a point or two. It's disgusting.

Again, Cam, my issue is with your incredibly poor representation of facts. And now, this will be my second request for you to provide a source for your claims about military votes not being counted because Democrats fought against their inclusion.

“We were trying to make it more convenient for everyone to have one location to go to,” Fallin said. “But with the feedback we received from the public, from the elderly and people who walk to the polls and everything, we don’t want to do anything to hurt anyone.”
Because multiple locations of something, some perhaps closer to where I live, would be less convenient. ; )
Thank goodness I live in a state that doesn’t yet seem to need to balance its books by cutting back on voting access.
They have mail-in ballots as an alternative. It's easy to get.

So. How many polling stations have been closed across Georgia and where are they all located?

The sites seemed to work weeks ago for the primary elections. Now there is a potential black female governor, though, it's an emergency to shut them down because they fail to meet current ADA standards for the mid-term election in a majority black county? Yeah.

The reason I went back to check your source date was because of the number of articles that came up when looking at Georgia right after the Supreme Court essentially shut down the voters rights act protections that would have forced Georgia to show these moves weren't racially disciminatory. It seems to be a big issue in Georgia for a couple of years now, with everything from cost cutting to facility adequacey issues being cited. The County in your study ultimately did close 7 stations in 2016. Fulton County, where Atlanta is located, backed off of closures in 2017 after it was sued. In that lawsuit it was noted that none of the polling stations proposed for closure were in White-majority precincts.
