Understand, please, that the new Georgia law not only contains provisions intended to suppress

[Atticus]

the votes of people likely to vote Democratic, it also has a less-discussed "just in case" procedure.

"Just in case" in spite of all the features designed to suppress enough Democratic voters to insure that Republicans actually get more votes, the law provides that the Republican-dominated legislature will be able to simply replace the election officials in any county or counties they believe voted "wrong" with their own operatives who can throw out Democratic votes, "find" additional Republican votes or simply declare all the votes in a county "invalid" for "whatever" reason.

So, even if we Democrats again succeed in turning out unprecedented numbers of our voters, it may not matter. The Georgia GOP has basically said that they will decide who wins elections in that state from now on. UNLESS----

HR 1. It MUST be passed. Period.

1. Couldn't agree with you more, my dear Atticus!

They're taking illegal measures and making them legal.

This cannot stand.

[PortTack]

2. It will not stand in the courts..at least these most damning parts

And yes, we must pass HR1/S1!!

[Hortensis]

3. This, AND we will of course pass HR1/S1.

10. Who says it won't stand in the Georgia courts?

And the Georgia courts are the ones that determine Georgia election law.

4. That is preserving the integrity of the White vote, it isn't voter suppression. /s

5. Saw a picture of Georgia governor

with various people behind him. A couple were African American and three or four were Asian Americans.

My question is do they support voter suppression against people of color?

6. ...

7. HR1 is the ONLY answer.

[Mr. Evil]

8. We have to do more "Good Trouble."

[mountain grammy]

9. Yes. K&R

[appmanga]

11. And I want to remind those taking action...

...to not let State Farm Insurance off the hook. They have a huge presence in ATL and they need to be called out like other corporations that talk a good game.

12. Including the water provision in the bill was an effective way to direct

attention away from how the bill can be used to overturn results in the most populous, democratic counties.

It’s frustrating that the most serious parts of the bill are ignored at the expense of water-outrage.

13. This law is designed to let the GA GOP steal elections
