I just can’t help but remember, back in the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump called the secretary of state of Georgia and said, ‘find me 11,000 more votes.’

It’s a desperate attempt to hold on to power, because the writing is on the wall.

No voter should have to walk past a gauntlet of firearms to exercise their right to vote, and no election worker should have to risk armed threats just to do their job.

Local officials and potentially impacted voters have real reason to be concerned about the state’s ability to work quickly enough to ensure that all eligible voters who registered can cast their ballot without obstacle.
