Opponents of Georgia’s recently enacted election law call it a voting suppression act. They say it will make it harder for some people to vote and is aimed in particular at the Black and other minority voters who pushed the state into the Democratic column for 2020 elections.
Proponents say parts of the measure will actually expand ballot access, and that other elements leave Georgia within the U.S. legal mainstream.

The last VCR was produced in 2016 by Funai Electric in Osaka, Japan. But the VHS tape might be immortal. Today, a robust marketplace exists for it.
On Instagram, sellers tout videos for sale, like the 2003 Jerry Bruckheimer film Kangaroo Jack, a comedy involving a beauty salon owner played by Jerry O Connell and a kangaroo. Asking price, $190.
If $190 feels outrageous for a film about a kangaroo accidentally coming into money, consider the price of a limited-edition copy of the 1989 Disney film The Little Mermaid, which is listed on Etsy for $45,000.
There is, it turns out, much demand for these old VHS tapes, price tags notwithstanding and despite post-2006 advancements in technology. Driving the passion is the belief that VHS offers something that other types of media cannot.
