A Trump co-conspirator's fast-changing district shows why Republicans are freaked out about Georgia

Alongside the many familiar names indicted by Georgia prosecutors on Monday night were a number of lesser-known figures who also stand accused of conspiring with Donald Trump to subvert the results of the 2020 elections. One person in particular, though, merits more attention: Shawn Still, a former finance chair for the state Republican Party who served as a fake elector in the sprawling scheme to overturn Joe Biden's victory in seven key swing states.

But that doesn't cover Still's complete resume. Despite being unmasked as secretary for the false electors in March of 2021, Still went on to run for an open seat in the state Senate last year. And with fulsome support from his fellow Republicans, he defeated his Democratic opponent by double digits. That means he's the only sitting office-holder who, to date, has been indicted with Trump for his alleged role in Trump's plot to stay in office despite losing his bid for a second term.

You might expect someone like Still to hail from an especially conservative part of the state—like, say, rural Coffee County, the site of a successful Trump-backed effort to breach voting equipment the day after the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol. Several of the individuals accused of masterminding that intrusion were in fact also indicted on Monday.

But Still actually represents a district in the Atlanta suburbs, one that tells the tale of a rapidly changing state whose flip from red to blue put it on the target list of Trump and his co-conspirators.

2. People get pissed off

People get pissed off when you try to attack their local election system. Georgians are proud of their voting system. This happening there angers a lot of people there. Trump just lost Georgia for 2024. Michigan too. Arizona next. Wisconsin too.
