Answer the questions you son of a bitch. You tried to pass off a half baked news article that you clearly googled quickly assuming the worst. When pressed for metrics that could prove your assertion you couldn't do it, because you're too damned retarded to figure out how to get the data and post it here.

damned lying assed son of a bitch racist.

Cam, everyone can read what happened in this thread. EA made this comment -

Georgia is systematically closing down polling locations in areas with large black population density. It’s also finding way to systematically purge black voters from registration lists. The suppressive effect of this is large enough to be old timey Jim Crow levels of disenfranchisement.

You accused him of misrepresenting the facts because you did a google search and made the claim -

3 out of 8 were in majority black precincts, one was closed because no one showed up, and the other was moved because of fear of black on black violence. Most people aren't even voting at polling stations now. EAllusion crapping out this kind of lying and disingenous nonsense that infects our Party is exactly the problem, and good people like Canpakes gobbles it up. It takes an inordinate amount of time to fact check and counter these lies, and when yoh do people like EAllusion are onto the next one. Basically he and his ilk are Leftist Trump's.

It turned out you misrepresented the information in the source you later provided to support this. It also turned out to be a two year old source. On review of the issue there have been multiple attempts over the years following Shelby in Georgia to close polling places in predominantly black precincts including currently in Rudolph County where 7 of the 9 stations are proposed for closure before the midterm elections, and in predominantly black majority districts in Fulton County in 2017 which was stopped by a lawsuit where no polling station proposed for closure was in a white majority precinct. If County election officials in Rudolph County follow through on the 24th of this month, the ACLU is primed to file a challenge. It's not a made up issue, and given it's multi-year scope it's clearly more than a minor issue.

This hulking out over a demand to get numbers is amusing, but it's not changing what happened.

And fifth request. You said, and brought up three times, that you believe there is hypocrisy in people not being outraged over Democrats suppressing the military vote. Maybe that happened. But all I see on the net are refuted conspiracy theories about it.

How many polling stations have been closed across Georgia?

Where are they all located?

How many have been opened?

How many are there in total?

Answer. The. Questions.

You can't.

Pathetic.

That’s called telling on yourself.


It's in a black precinct you daft clown, and over 90% of violence committed against blacks are by blacks. Seriously. What's wrong with you? Why do you choose to be such a cynical liar using minorities for your own purposes?

The article said nothing about the general crime patterns in the area. It was about a specific claim from local officials that a specific polling location was meant to resolve a threat of violence. What threat? You won't know from the article, and there's no real way to know of that threat was "black on black." For all we know, the concern about "violence" was just a generically racist claim to justify making the largely black population vote in a police station. No evidence is presented that there was a problem with violence in the original polling location. That you added this additional phrase into your comment not present in the article, despite it not being needed or justified by the available information, is a pretty clear indicator of either where your thinking goes or your desire for provocation.

The Intercept covered this story, and it reports the move was motivated by the original location being closed for renovation. The move wasn't motivated by a concern over violence, as you falsely claimed, but rather the police station was initially picked as the replacement location for that reason. Not covered in the article you linked is an interesting bit. It turns out after the polling station was moved out of the police station out of concerns of voter intimidation into a Church, they moved again at the last minute with little to no notice to voters. People who showed up to vote found a makeshift sign from the pastor telling them to go somewhere else.

For what it is worth, I tried to find a local news answer to why the original location was closed, and those stories confirm it was indeed because the first location closed for renovation:

It's fun that while you do a projection dance about deception, almost every single thing you said about your own link turned out to be false.

You misrepresented the facts and got caught doing it. And you did it in defense of suppressing black voters because that's a hot fall look this year. The above is you throwing a rock in the bushes hoping it will distract people from what happened. Nice try, Hollywood.

Sixth request. Kindly provide a source backing up your claim that Democrats suppressed the military vote. I'm not saying it didn't happen. It's just there are a lot of debunked conspiracy theories out there on so if there is a legit source it's buried in BS.

How many polling stations have been closed across Georgia?

Where are they all located?

How many have been opened?

How many are there in total?

Weird that you keep throwing rocks in the bushes while we are looking right at you being deceptive in your claims.

Tell you what. Tie your request into something meaningful in the context of the thread and that might be worth checking the elections board website for your stats. But so long as it's just a distraction you are putting out to smoke screen your screw up, no thanks.

And seventh request on that source supporting your claim that Democrats suppressed the military vote that isn't a debunked conspiracy theory.

Honor,

You're unaware of the Gore campaign getting veteran absentee ballots thrown out? Weird that you don't know that. It's weird because you're so good at knowing stuff. Stuff like:

How many polling stations have been closed across Georgia?

Where are they all located?

How many have been opened?

How many are there in total?

20 years ago, the Gore campaign in the election recount of Florida tried get some military absentee ballots thrown out on a correct legal technicality concerning postmark legibility that normally was overlooked, right? Kinda shady. Of course, the context is that the Gore and Bush campaigns were fighting over every last vote on strict legal technicalities because the presidential election hung in the balance. [Insert hanging chad joke]

This is the basis for your "what about Democrats' of suppression military ballots?" claim? Cool cool. That certainly balances out nationwide efforts of Republicans over the past decade or so to burden and/or disenfranchise millions of voters because they belong to Democratic demographics. Totally the same thing. Anywho, it turns out that even if Democrats were trying to prevent every last military member from voting, that wouldn't mean squat for whether there is also racial discrimination in voting access. And if there is, whites not being subject to such racial discrimination constitutes white privilege. Of course, you still can't get over the idea that white privilege is an on average concept that doesn't require every white person to be absolutely advantaged over every non-white person.
