The gutting of the VRA had an impact as well, which is why voting is important. Republicans are determined to use their power to limit the franchise.

Have you been following the efforts of Abrams and others in this area? Do a google search "Kemp" "Georgia" "Polling Places", and in search tools filter results to one month ago.

Also, a google search for "Lawsuits" and "voter suppression" yields a ton of results.
