GOP-Led Voting Restrictions Near Final Passage
On today’s episode, we discuss the scope of two proposed laws that would make it more difficult to vote in Georgia and how some provisions of these proposals have been watered down. We also discuss the potential Trump slate of Republican primary challengers who may challenge statewide elected officials. And we condemn the violence perpetrated against Asian-Americans in our state and across the country.
