Election integrity & privacy: how and why Georgia lacks both [1]

Friend of the show, Marilyn Marks - executive director of the Coalition for Good Governance - joined me for a wall-to-wall conversation on election integrity in the state of Georgia.
First, on the day President Carter left Georgia to be eulogized in the nation's capitol, Marilyn shared a story from Carter's political launch when he overcame a party "boss" ballot-stuffing on behalf of Carter's state senate opponent. Pretty funny (now) story, actually. She also deftly pointed out Carter's pro-consumer (and business!) deregulation of the freight and airline industries.
As Republicans start rubbing hands together to plot more changes to our system, the meat & potatoes of our discussion, however, centered on the state of the state of Georgia's election system.
Marks believes Georgia is the worst of all states when it comes to election integrity and even argues we, the voter, lack the privacy when we vote that the US Constitution guarantees us. That's not a new complaint, either, as evidenced by this story from WXIA-TV (11 Alive) in 2020.
She believes Republicans have some things right on their pecking order and that Democrats would be wrong to oppose some action items.
