Georgia bill struck me as overblown. It got watered down and ended up, in many ways, enhancing voting access. As many of you pointed out to me, and to which I agreed in a follow-up newsletter, the most dangerous part of the bill is the provision giving the Georgia Assembly control over the State Board of Elections, which will allow the board to take over local county boards and choose who decides to disqualify which ballots — even in Democratic strongholds. In 2020, a provision like this could have easily been used to throw out legitimate ballots and given Georgia to Trump, had Republicans caved to his pressure

That’s the only thing they wanted. The rest was just window dressing with just enough controversy to distract you.
