Is designed to make it hard for Democrats to win again not to protect elections. They passed this law after a Democrat won Georgia Presidential election for the first time since 1992 and 2 Democrats became the State's Senators.

Now there will only be one week of early voting during run-offs opposed to 3 weeks they use to have. How does limiting early voting during a run-off protect elections?

They moved ballot drop boxes inside the early voting locations and only during business hours limiting their utility. Furthermore, ballot drop boxes won’t be available to voters in the last four days of an election, when it’s often too late to mail them in time. How is refusing to let people drop off their ballots during business hours inside a monitored early voting location for the last 4 days of early voting not just limiting voting?

Instead of getting rid of voting on Sunday, Republicans gave county election officials the option to allow early voting on two Sundays or not. However early voting on two Saturdays will be mandatory. Why is it okay to vote on Saturday but not Sunday?

It standardizes the hours for most early voting to between 9-5 pm. Previously Fulton County, allowed early voting till 7 pm at night. How does this not just limit working people's options to vote?

It makes it a misdemeanor to hand out food or water to people waiting in line to vote. How does this stop election fraud exactly?

The bill also will allow the State Election Board to take over county election boards that it deems "need intervention". So Republican officials could decide to intervene in ballots count in majority Democratic areas, such as Fulton County. How does allowing state politicians to intervene in county elections improve the integrity of the election? What happens when god forbid Democrats control the state election board? Will we have to pass a new law reversing this one to ensure the integrity of the election?
