Hello Mr. President and Mrs. First Lady
In an article written for MSNBC, Ja’han Jones warns readers not to be complacent about Georgia. Although Mr. Jones proclaims that we should be heartened by the record breaking turnout there, he still suggests that we should be wary of Republican intentions. Because Republicans don’t want us to know that they are suppressing the vote. See below:
On the other hand, Raffensperger, who’s running for re-election, has made similar claims about Georgia’s elections in the past to undermine legitimate allegations of voter suppression that have been highlighted by Stacey Abrams, the Democratic nominee for Georgia governor. To do this, he has conflated Abrams’ claims with former President Donald Trump’s effort to overturn Georgia’s results in the 2020 presidential election.
To be clear, there are promising signs about Georgia’s voter turnout numbers, but not enough to tell us much about voter access with any certainty. And we definitely don’t know enough to support any wild claims that the state’s new election law has helped secure elections. In fact, we have every reason to believe it will negatively affect turnout.
I am also buoyed by the early statistics. Democrats are showing up and voting early in numbers not seen for a while. We looked poised to outperform the polls this election cycle. And we can turn out to vote while monitoring and calling out Republican chicanery.
