To your second part regarding suppression. You see it as suppression, and I can concede some of the GA proposed laws are suppression. But I don't see that all of it is suppression.
How is requiring an ID to get an absentee ballot is suppression?
How is not allowing a (presumably) partisan person from giving drinks/snacks a suppression?
How is asking that drop boxes be secured be suppression?

I think I have addressed each one of those questions.
I can't engage any more. I am a hard no on any suppression of registered
voters especially when it is not done due to any evidence of fraud but to calm the hurt feelings of fellow citizens who IMO don't see them as worthy of the right to vote.
