Voter suppression in Georgia

Red states (and the federal government) will be going hammer and tongs at voting rights before the mid-terms in 2026.
On Tuesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger continued to burnish his anti-voter credentials by initiating a new purge of as many as 480,000 voters. The secretary of state, once celebrated for refusing Trump's demand that he “find” 11,780 nonexistent votes, has since gone all-in on MAGA voter suppression.

Not to be outdone, on Wednesday, the far-right dominated Georgia State Election Board passed a 3-2 resolution asking for help from the Trump administration in investigating the 2020 election results in Fulton County. That’s right — the 2020 election results.

Previous attempts to investigate Fulton County have found no evidence of fraud or serious irregularity.

Aside from simply currying favor with the Great Orange Leader, I assume they're wanting to say that, since the 2020 election was stolen, Dear Leader should get a third term. Or something like that, so that the Supreme Court can have a reason, however bogus, to allow that to happen.
