    ProPublica was able to determine that a vast majority of the challenges since SB 202 became law — about 89,000 of 100,000 — were submitted by just six right-wing activists…

    Imagine having that much time on your hands… And I get that voting integrity is important, and mayyybe these 6 people actually believe they’re protecting that, but with these numbers its gotta just be fishing and targeting people based on demographics, not evidence.

    A spreadsheet attached to the email identified 13 people allegedly registered to vote at P.O. boxes in Forsyth County… Georgians are supposed to register at residential addresses, except in special circumstances. “Please consider this my request that a hearing be held to determine these voters’ eligibility to vote,” wrote the challenger…

    For instance, it specifically says, “except in special circumstances”, how does this dude know these 13 people didn’t have special circumstances??

    I know voter registration fuckery is the point, but how did they not provide rules regarding what constitutes evidence?? … Well I guess I answered my own question at the beginning, but it’s so frustrating.
