Results show state's election laws aren't discriminatory

Where are they now, the critics who claimed the sky was falling, stomping their feet and shouting for all to hear that Georgia’s revised election laws were discriminatory? They apparently slipped back under the floorboards, red-faced and embarrassed, following the results of the state’s Nov. 3 General Election. One can only hope that recent elections will finally quiet them. The record-breaking turnout in 2024 failed to faze them. They stood by their argument that the state’s new voting system was created and passed by a Republican majority General Assembly for the sole purpose of making it difficult for a certain segment of the population to participate in elections. kAm%96 D2>6 2C8F>6?ED DFC72465 H:E9 E96 62C=:6C A2DD286 3J E96 DE2E6 =68:D=2EFC6 @7 E96 '@E6C xs {2H[ H9:49 C6BF:C6D C68:DE6C65 G@E6CD E@ AC6D6?E 2 A:4EFC6 :56?E:7:42E:@?
