Kemp tries to pass off sucking up to Trump as considering voters’ ‘peace of mind’

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. There is no evidence or reason to believe our signature match system is insecure,” state Rep. Josh McLaurin told the AJC.

In Georgia, Trump’s Attacks on Election Still Haunt Republicans

ATLANTA — The impeachment charge that House Democrats have filed against President Trump stems from his role in inciting a mob to attack the U.S. Capitol last week.

State Capitols ‘on High Alert,’ Fearing More Violence

It was opening day of the 2021 legislative session, and the perimeter of the Georgia State Capitol on Monday was bristling with state police officers in full camouflage gear, most of them carrying tactical rifles.

Georgia GOP looks to deliver powerful blow to absentee voting days after Loeffler and Perdue concede

Georgia House Minority Leader James Beverly translated for the wider public. “They lost, and now they want to change the rules to give themselves a competitive advantage,” the Democrat told the AJC. “The pendulum swings, and people can see through this foolishness in the truest sense of suppression and disenfranchisement.” Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has repeatedly […] More

Elizabeth Williams of the Atlanta Dream Continues to Embrace Activism

The challenge seemed simple and direct. Rebuke Senator Kelly Loeffler of Georgia for her race-baiting derision of Black Lives Matter. Help remove her from her post.

But Republicans still hold the power in almost all Southern state legislatures (Virginia’s is the exception, and only since 2019), and they will continue to do everything possible to make it harder for Democrats to vote.
