I don’t believe their sincerity --mrmheadWe're not going to be invited into that boardroom or the martini lunch. I don't think it's productive to even attempt to evaluate their personal feelings. A corporation is a piece of paper that exists without the people. I treat it as such and base my political decisions on their actions.
I don’t even believe the Repug’s sincerity. They’ve never been sincere. However, Moscow Mitch is sincere with his threats to the CEOs who aren’t for Jim Crow Laws and admit that some of what the GOP is doing are part of Jim Crow. Hopefully, none of them listen to him or his cronies, because currently the Dems out number racist Moscow Mitch et al. I think some of their feelings can be evaluated, because they don’t make them personal. In fact, they impose them on others.
She just should have said “Georgia’s Laws Are More Restrictive PERIOD!”Hell NO!
Jen’s doing exactly what she needs to.
Spoon feed the facts to the FOX frauds and who ever is watching.
Jen Psaki is an example way more Democratic spokespeople should be emulating.
Clear, concise, while exposing the lies within the contrived questions.
As they say YOU GO GIRL!!!
Here’s a good comparison between Georgia and Colorado.
New York Times, voting in Georgia.
Colorado - Sorry can’t find a picture of long voting lines from Colorado.
Hmmm, I wonder why?
We in Colorado don’t have to deal with lines, because the rational powers that be developed an awesome mail in ballot system. ALL of us voters get our ballots in the mail. We mail them in, drop them off, or wait till Election Day to visit our precinct Polling Place, for nostalgia. NO LINES!!!
Republican have doing their damned to find some sort of voter fraud in Colorado, snake eyes. Because apparently does not happen here, except for the rare freakster, and more likely to be a Republican fraudster than a Democrat. Lordie knows we’d be hearing of it, if any were documented.

<blockquote>Make voting harder
The Georgia law is part of an ongoing effort by the Republican Party to make voting more difficult, mostly because Republicans believe they win when turnout is low.
There is no accurate way to describe this effort other than anti-democratic.
The Republican Party’s justification is “election integrity” — that is, stopping voter fraud. But voter fraud is exceedingly rare. There is no reason to believe it has determined the outcome of a single U.S. election in decades. If anything, the most high-profile recent examples of fraud have tended to involve Republican voters. Yet former President Donald Trump and other Republicans have repeatedly and falsely claimed otherwise.
In truth, the spate of “election integrity” laws over the past decade are mostly a response to Barack Obama’s presidential victories. They created a consensus, among both parties, that Democrats benefited from high turnout (which may not be true). Republicans in many states have responded by trying to make voting harder, especially in cities and heavily Black areas — through onerous identification requirements, reduced voting hours, reduced access to early voting and more.
The new Georgia law largely fits this pattern. It is a response by Republican legislators and Gov. Brian Kemp to their party’s close losses there in the 2020 elections. The law reduces hours for absentee voting, increases ID requirements, and limits the distribution of water and food to voters waiting in line.
One provision seems obviously targeted at Atlanta, the Democrats’ most important source of votes: a new limit on absentee-ballot drop boxes. It is likely to reduce the number of drop boxes in metropolitan Atlanta to fewer than 25, from 94 last year. (My colleagues Nick Corasaniti and Reid Epstein have written a helpful summary of the law.)
“There is no rational motivation for the passage of its new election law other than demonstrating fealty to the false claims elevated by Trump,” The Washington Post’s Philip Bump wrote.
Perry Bacon Jr. of FiveThirtyEight put it this way: “The enactment of this law in that state is a particularly alarming sign that the Republican Party’s attacks on democratic norms and values are continuing and in some ways accelerating.”</blockquote>The sincerity in the boardroom only extends to the bottom line profits.
…is probably a better way to say what I was getting at ?
Here’s and example of how Colorado’s patriotic democracy loving Americans deal with voter lines:
