Georgia s New Voting Law Is Racist | Opinion Scott Dworkin
, Executive Director of The Democratic Coalition On 4/8/21 at 11:00 AM EDT
Let me start off with this fact: Georgia s new voting law is racist. Even worse, it allows elected officials to choose their voters, which really means that democracy will be over entirely in the state if last week s bill is still law by next November.
Republicans act like the new Georgia voting bill isn t racist, just because the bill doesn t explicitly say, We want fewer people of color to vote. But that s exactly what it is designed to do, and as history shows, they probably know it.

In Georgia, the Fulton County district attorney will not prosecute state Representative Park Cannon, who was arrested last month for knocking on Republican Governor Brian Kemp’s door as he signed a sweeping voter suppression bill. She said the public deserved to witness what was happening. Representative Cannon spoke to CNN last week about her arrest.
Rep. Park Cannon: “It makes me wonder why. Why were they arresting me? Why were they doing this? Why did the world have to experience another traumatizing arrest?”
In related news, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms issued an executive order Tuesday designed to “mitigate the impact” of Georgia’s new voting restrictions. The actions will center on educating voters, helping them obtain identification and training city staff on how to assist voters.
