Democracy tested

So far, democracy is successfully waging a defense against Trumpism.  But Trumpism has not been conquered.

Two Georgia counties must reverse their decision to purge thousands from voter rolls in advance of the state’s 5 January runoff elections that will determine whether Democrats or Republicans control the US Senate.

Georgia federal judge Leslie Abrams Gardner said in an order filed late on Monday that these two counties appeared to have improperly relied on unverified change-of-address information to invalidate voter registrations, Reuters reported.

I have no doubt Georgia Republicans will file an appeal. Hopefully, the Supreme Court will hold firm and deny standing as they have in other Trumpist state case battles. Republicans will keep working to change the courts and the laws to favor Republicans and disenfranchise voters who vote against them. The battle is more out in the open and more dire than it has ever been.

“Defendants are enjoined from removing any challenged voters in Ben Hill and Muscogee Counties from the registration lists on the basis of National Change of Address data,” she said in the court order. This judge is the sister of Stacey Abrams, the Democratic activist who lost a race for Georgia governor in 2018.

She'll be getting MAGA death threats. Bet on it.
