This past Saturday, Georgia election officials, with the support of Republicans, tried to prevent over 70,000 people from voting. But unlike when former President Donald Trump asked Georgia’s secretary of state to “find” 11,780 votes or when Georgia enacted a new voter suppression law, there was no national outrage. |
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. Georgia’s secretary of state may not be an election denier, but at least in this instance, he was a vote suppressor. Thankfully, due to litigation by Democrats, over 70,000 voters won the ability to cast their ballots last Saturday. That is something we all can celebrate.
