Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D) Wednesday signed an executive order to “mitigate the impact” of Georgia’s new election integrity law, known as The Election Integrity Act of 2021. The new election bill that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) signed into law “… seeks to tighten up elections and reduce fraud by enforcing conformity across the state, amping up voter ID, restricting drop boxes, and expanding in-person voting, among additional election-related overhauls,” The Daily Wire previously reported. Although Georgia has received widespread criticism from a number of corporations, Kemp said he was moving forward with his decision to sign the bill into law.

Executive Orders were never meant to be a way to govern. It's totally out of hand. Obama did 2000 executive orders. Trumps were mostly to reverse Obama. Biden is 'ruling' with them and they are being done fast and furiously to shove as much garbage down our throats as fast as they can. This has been four years in the making. We can fix it, and we will, we just need a bit of time. My money is still on Trump.

No, quota candidates that depend on fraud will be hit the hardest. I suspect the GA AG will watch this executive order very closely.

Why bother making laws that can be ignored by some executive order from another official because they don't like it?
As president of the jurisdiction of Lancelinkville I've signed an executive order negating the requirements of the federal income tax. There. Fixed that.

Sure. That’ll go far. African autocracy where the tribal chief can overturn state statute.

A lousy mayor has authority to slap a local veto on legislation validly enacted by the state (unilateral executive action at the local level overrides state legislation)? No wonder Georgia is such a mess.

Maybe the State decides to hand-count all Atlanta city votes going forward as a way to counter this Mayor's desire to enshrine disenfranchising voters in the rest of Georgia?
At a minimum, everyone should be okay with making sure the voter rolls are up-to-date and have all dead people removed, and have people who've moved updated accordingly.
Then, they need to have a HARD cut-off date on when you are eligible to vote, and I'd think about that as it relates to how they allow people to move into their state and when they're allowed to pay in-state tuition.
Or, can you simply move to Georgia 40 days prior to the start of the college semester, and pay their in-state tuition? Thus, implying they aren't a resident yet.

Come on people. She said she's going to train people how to get an ID and how the law works, but in the same breath that she is going to fight it. Or did I read this wrong?

Somewhere the immunity these "officeholders" have should end and they just go to a cell way in back of the jail that nobody ever sees.

The convoluted logic of the modern totalitarian leftist is baffling. With all of their "empower the powerless" rhetoric, how do they square that with the very belief that the powerless are helpless. It isn't hypocrisy; it's an absolute lie. It is no wonder that the so-called powerless are confused. They equate rioting, violence, theft, assault, and murder with empowerment. They equate the civil act of voting as a burden too great to be overcome by simply getting an ID, get up and go to the precinct, and cast a vote. However, given the attained education level of the typical "powerless" person, these may indeed be too burdensome. If that's the case, they should stay home and protect us all from their ignorance and stupidity.

This EO reads like a requirement to inform Atlanta resident how to COMPLY with The Election Integrity Act of 2021.
Am I reading this EO wrong? www.atlantaga.gov/Home/ShowDocument?id=50644

She was emboldened to do this during the lockdown when Kemp lifted the mask mandate, she filed an order keeping the mandate going in Atlanta. He should have swatted her ass then.

I actually read what she's planning, and have no problem with it as long as she includes all citizens, regardless of color. It sounds like voter education and assistance in complying with the law, not trying to "veto" it. BTW, I live in the Atlanta area.

This is PR crap.
The courts will tell her,as any real lawyer would,that a city can't overrule a state law.
Just As the Gov of TX has hit any city there with penalties.
After that she screams racism!

I'm afraid Keisha is right.
The Constitution explicitly states - - that election laws must be formulated my egomaniacal, delusional, arrogant, militant, ignorant, black, communist women.
There's no legal way to appeal this.

Twenty one replies to the article and it is obvious that only 2 or 3 posters actually read farther than the headline. The mayor of Atlanta is committed to ensuring that voters in Atlanta are educated in how to obtain ID and the proper laws regarding voting in Georgia. That is fair and honest. I have no problem with that.

I hope this stands.
Then every conservative-run city in this country can issue executive orders banning abortions from happening in their cities, banning riots, banning homosexual marriage, and the list goes on and on. And if the feds try to step in, they can claim the "Atlanta rule" and tell the feds to shove it!!!!

So we'll just make laws to negate laws we don't like.

She doesn't have the authority. That is a state level, legislative power.
She should be arrested, immediately.

Kemp should sign an executive order denying all residents of Atlanta the right to vote. Stalemate.

Who authorized "Executive Orders" of this magnitude? I always thought we had at least congress and the president to make these things happen. An "Executive Order" should for silly little things; not stuff of this magnitude. In fact where are these things authorized at all?

I'm sorry, but sex and gender are the same thing when it comes to humans -- and there are only two of each -- the same two: Male and female!!!!!
As some comedian said (probably right before he was cancelled by the woke crowd), men are from Mars, women are from Venus, and you got the other 56 genders out of Uranus!!!!!

When I read the article I find the headline to be grossly misleading. The Mayor appears to me to taking steps that basically ensure voters understand what has changed and also provides information about how to get properly registered. It thus "mitigates" the kind of confusion that can result anytime the procedures are changed.

Keisha
Let me guess, pause, correct again.
It's almost Saturday, appointments at the "nayl" and braid salons in the heart of downtown Atlanta are probably booked in their entirety.
