You will have another full-time job if you try to determine the motivation for all the Georgia state laws that affect only certain counties or municipalities. There are probably hundreds on the books.

I don't understand why GPB would even mention Lincoln County consolidating its voting precincts into one location. Lincoln County has a population of about 8000 and a land area of less than 300 square miles. My home county is slightly larger in land area and has six times the population. When we consolidated to one voting location there was a big improvement in efficiency, and it cut expenses considerably. The maximum distance traveled to the polling location probably doubled from 6 miles to 12 miles and the time required to vote probably also doubled from 7 minutes to 14 minutes. Hardly earth-shaking inconvenience. Most Georgia counties are really tiny.

Your opposition to the voting integrity law is puzzling. It adds no hardships to voting and it is worthwhile if it discourages fraud. It also prevents the SOS from illegally changing voting requirements by signing an agreement with Stacey Abrams or some other grifter. That's good enough for me.

David, for $5o worth of ice and bottled water (assuming it's free of political slogans) you could provide enough water for almost all of the voters spending more than 3o minutes in line. You just have to turn it over to election officials for distribution. In my county's one polling station there are a number of water fountains and someone provides cups. Whining about measures to prevent politicking at the polls is silly so I assume you are joking.

Natural Immunity shouldn't even be mentioned anymore. It is completely useless in the face of Omicron. Although it was always overrated. I have a cousin who has had Covid 4 times. All positive tests. Obviously that isn't normal and the reason he's had it so many times is because he's an idiot preacher who somehow thinks its his job to visit sick members of his church. But it does prove you are never really immune to this disease.

With people sick of Covid and pretty much giving up on protecting themselves it seems that this disease will never end. Well unless a mutation ends up increasing the death rate and it kills us all.

Perhaps your daughter has caught two different strains of COVID, or: perhaps natural immunity isn't a guarantee.
