John,
Republicans will stop at nothing to win in Georgia, even if it means eroding democracy.
After passing legislation to restrict the right to vote, Georgia Republicans also gave themselves the power to interfere with county election commissions. They’ve seized control, and have quietly reorganized the boards to remove Black Democrats advocating for expanding voting rights.
Let’s be clear, this has nothing to do with election security. Republicans are trying to stop Black folks from voting. Remember, Georgia used to be protected under the Voting Rights Act because of Jim Crow laws that explicitly prohibited Black people from voting. But the GOP made sure that protection was stripped away.
Republicans taking over local election commissions is a scary thought, especially with competitive elections next year that could decide control of the Senate. We need to fight back now.
