Voting rights advocates say a new Georgia law that bolsters scrutiny of the rolls leaves unhoused voters uniquely vulnerable.

      Honestly Republicans are among the lowest income families and most of them rent, requiring land ownership could very well cost Trump the presidency.

    Yet again they are targeting the vulnerable of society, and trying to disenfranchise them. But if course, the cruelty is the point.

      The sad part is it’s probably not. We started off only letting land owners vote, I have a feeling were like one self serving interpretation of the law away from going back.

    I bet I can guess the skin color of the average homeless person’s skin color in Georgia.
