Where did I say that the ''9 to 5'' hours were dictated as the only legal hours allowed by the new law?  I pointed out that by law the code now lets counties allow the early polling sites to set their hours to 9 to 5 if thay so desire.  In recent years the tradition has been for early voting sites to be open 7 to 7, the same time set by law for election day hours.  You know as well as I do the deep red rural counties run 100% by Republicans will site the new law as they rush to depress the votes of their Democratic leaning citizens by reducing as much as possible the times available to cast a vote.  I guess those of us who think it should be the objective to make casting a legal vote as universal and convenient as possible should thank our GA rulers that they did not by law set 9 to 5 as the hours for both early and election day in person voting as the Iowa legislature just did! 

You need to read more carefully before going off half cocked and you need to carefully consider the definition of the term ''voter supression'' and exactly what constitutes such.  If you agree that voter supression is an acceptable philosophy that is fine and, by all respectful means, voice and promote your opinion, but please do not keep defending the bald faced lie that GA SB-202 ''increases'' voter access.  That dog won't hunt.
