THREAD: Republicans are trying to change the rules of GA elections - rules that they wrote - because they were humiliated on November 3 and again on January 5, and they know their only chance at winning future elections is to prevent eligible Georgians from casting their ballots.

Georgia voters decided. Donald Trump cannot overturn the will of Georgia voters. President-Elect Biden won Georgia and won by more than 14,000 votes, more than Trump's win in Michigan in 2016. Donald Trump is delaying the inevitable. He lost, and he knows it.

spreadsheet. They are people. Implying 12 hour lines are not that bad because voters will find a way to make up for lost wages or they’ll vote after they faint is cruel and racist. Turnout would be even higher if not for barriers.
It is unacceptable that Cobb County - GA’s third-largest and already the site of the longest early voting lines of 2018 and 2020 - would close more than half of its early voting locations for Jn 5 runoff. The county must immediately reverse course.
#gapol
Cobb County, Georgia election officials plan to slash the number of early voting locations from eleven to five for the upcoming runoff election. This move will harm Black and Latinx voters as many of these polling places serve communities of color.
We estimate that Black voters made up 41.82 percent of all voters yesterday on the first day of early voting.
