And so; how much less corrupt is the new “democratic” govt of #SouthAfrica. Like;as far as I know, no major hospital has been built in 30yrs. Infr projects are ignored. There’s no mgmnt of anything needing mgmnt. Kids have dark ages pit toilets. And ATROCIOUS teachers/curriculums

NEW: the Georgia House Special Committee on Election Integrity is meeting at 3 this afternoon and just added HB 531 - a 48 page omnibus elections bill that proposes a *lot* of changes. #gapol
Here's the text:
First, it would ban county elections offices from receiving outside funding to run elections.
This, after CTCL and Schwarzenegger gave money to both D and R counties in 2020 to help with pandemic.
(although I wonder if the county gov't could take the grant, then disburse?)
Next, it outlines ways that poll workers can serve adjacent counties (currently, you can only work in your county of residence)
This section mirrors an SOS-backed bill from 2020 that would require more machines, more poll workers or splitting up precincts if a 2,000+ person precinct has lines of more than an hour.

(although I still believe that it's using the wrong code section since the busses are for *early* voting and fall under 21-2-382)

If you're curious what Trump's defense will look like, all you have to do is turn on Fox News. My latest at @mmfa
The tl;dr is that for years right-wing media have been excusing Trump's violent rhetoric by going, "Yes, but THE DEMOCRATS..." and then bending themselves into knots to pretend that Dems were calling for violence when they very, very clearly weren't.
And in fact, this predates Trump.
In 2008, Obama was talking about not backing down in the face of an ugly campaign. He said "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun."

That quote was from the movie The Untouchables. And there's no way anybody reading that quote in good faith could conclude that he was talking about actual guns and knives. But it became a big talking point on the
In 2018, Obama-era Attorney General Eric Holder was speaking to a group of Georgia Democrats about GOP voter suppression. He riffed on Michelle Obama's "When they go low, we go high" line from the 2016 DNC.
