This past Saturday, Georgia election officials, with the support of Republicans, tried to prevent over 70,000 people from voting.

In my latest piece, “What Georgia Teaches Us About Voter Suppression,” I discuss what happened in the Peach State and how, as is so often the case, the job of holding these election officials accountable fell to the courts.
