Voters should know the Dems did it
“Voter suppression?” It was the 1997 Georgia Democrats who introduced, sponsored and passed the now-infamous “use it or lose it” voter roll “purge” legislation that sore loser Stacey Abrams and the 2018 Democrats are using to attack Governor-Elect Brian Kemp. The exception on sponsors was Republican Robert Irvin.
It was Democrat Gov. Zell Miller who signed that legislation, HB 889, into law.
Contrary to the calculated howls from the Left, former Secretary of State Brian Kemp is merely “guilty” of obeying his oath of office and following the Democrat-concocted law.
Voters should be asking Democrats what they had in mind on the commonsense policy. Maybe it was long-forgotten interest in vote security?

Disclosure can resolve religious liberty issue
There is a workaround for the religious freedom bill quandary. Let the Georgia Legislature pass the religious freedom bill, but include in it the following requirement: Any business that would seek its protection must include the following, prominent notice on their premises and in all advertising: “The products and services offered by this company are not available to all citizens of Georgia. The policy of this company is to discriminate against citizens of Georgia based on the sincerely held religious beliefs of the owners of the company, in furtherance of which the owners of the company invoke the First Amendment and the Georgia religious freedom statute.” The purpose of this notice is to forewarn potential customers so they can decide in advance if they wish to patronize said company. Anyone in favor of religious freedom must also be in favor of truth in advertising.
