Georgia has become “Midterm Ground Zero” for our political future

John, Georgia gave us a solid win for Biden and a Senate majority in the span of three months. It’s no surprise that the GOP is determined to lock it back down. That’s exactly why Jody Hice wants to take over their elections this November and rig the system before 2024. Just…
