This was the week that Kamala Harris formally became the Democratic Party’s nominee for president. It was also the week that she chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate. But between the images of a truly joyful campaign, a dark storyline unfolded in Georgia.

For years, I have been warning about the GOP’s plan to subvert the 2024 election by replacing honest election officials with partisan election deniers. Once in these offices, these MAGA extremists could make voting more difficult and spread lies and misinformation. Most worrisome, they could tamper with and delay the election certification process — without which election results cannot become “official.”

Trump attempted this gambit in Michigan in 2020 and failed. It was reprised in several counties around the country in 2022, but was defeated through the litigation efforts from my team and others. This week, the threat to free and fair elections made big news in Georgia when Trump praised three members of the Georgia State Election Board by name during a political rally. Days later, the same three members voted 3-2 to adopt a rule that weakens the state’s certification process.

Georgia is not Las Vegas and so we should expect that what happened there will happen elsewhere throughout the country. To equip you with the information you need, this week I offer three articles — an explainer and two of my opinion pieces — on this critical topic.
