The U.S. Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act. That means state courts matter now more than ever. The next big election is on May 19 — for two seats on Georgia’s Supreme Court
Racial & religious bigotry rules the US. It's the core motivation of what was the "Republican Base" (now MAGA). It has been so since Nixon and his party created the "Southern Strategy" for his 1968 & 72 elections. They invited in the Southern racist Democrats. It worked & has reached a pinacle of success in the WH Todder & Crime Boss. All Dems need to understand this and find a rhetorical disinfectant for the MAGA Malignancy. If not we're all headed back to the way things were in 1900.
Early education is the key to destroying racism (it's learned by children from their parents by three years of age). Education also seems to be the key to destroying religious zealotry and intolerance. Why do you think one key component of the MAGA plan is destroying public education and pushing as many children as possible into religious brainwashing camps instead?
You are correct Wendy. The good thing about humans is their ability to change and hopefully think for themselves. Children that grow up exposed to natural diversity are generally much more open to seeing "the person" and not the race, economics, religion, etc. as divisive.
True. However, the Democratic States of America can't force the MAGA Fascist States of America to do the decent thing on education. MAGA is a brain cancer that has infected half of the formerly "United" States.
Excellent and informative article. I wish all Georgians the opportunity to read it and understand their important role in helping to protect, restore, and preserve our democracy!
With the current economy, (especially that of the kitchen table) who can afford to travel abroad any more anyway? If you do, hope your passport does not have to be renewed until 2029.
Aye, that's a point, though such a requirement would be illegal, (not that it makes any difference to this crew) as it would be construed as a poll tax.
If the government is going to require any documentation to be permitted to vote, it must provide it free of charge.
We should have known that part of Trump’s strategy to steal elections was to get SCOTUS on board to set it up for him. He may be nuts on wars, but he’s a champ on cheating. Democrats need to find a way to oust him. I can’t believe that Republicans were willing to conspire to damage democracy.

There’s also a link to donate to them!
Thank you for this! I just donated and sent the link to my local resistance group. It's great to have something to DO....
Thank you for the link!
Thank you for highlighting this battle - especially telling us what we can do to bend the arc of history towards justice.
Apologies ... Off topic, but gnawing at me: how do we stop the regime from defacing our passports?
Lawsuit? There might a law against it.
With the current economy, (especially that of the kitchen table) who can afford to travel abroad any more anyway? If you do, hope your passport does not have to be renewed until 2029.
People might want to get passports just in case the MAGA manage to pass the SAVE act and you have to show a passport in order to vote.
Aye, that's a point, though such a requirement would be illegal, (not that it makes any difference to this crew) as it would be construed as a poll tax.
If the government is going to require any documentation to be permitted to vote, it must provide it free of charge.
A group of us spent the afternoon writing postcards to GA voters to encourage them to vote in their Supreme Court election.
This is nothing short of depressing.
Please could you share relevant donation information for the Georgia candidates for the Supreme Court? Thank you....
Thanks Ben for the great analysis!
Trump & Co project corruption & fraud everywhere while promoting & pardoning hate groups. Resist MAGA gangster grifter authoritarianism! Vote Sane. VoteBlue!
