Ask @NikemaWilliams how that will turn out if authorities try to arrest a sitting lawmaker for participating in a voting rights protest at the state Capitol #gapol Image
State lawmakers say the group won’t leave the Capitol steps until the officer apologizes to Rep. Park Cannon. #gapol
Democrats are pointing to this Getty photo of a “Stop the Steal” rally at the Capitol in November, when a group led by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and other Trump supporters congregated at the steps as authorities looked on. #gapol Image

Now happening: Debate is beginning at the Georgia House over a GOP proposal to require ID for absentee voting, curb the use of ballot drop boxes and limit weekend early voting hours. #gapol
The sponsor, GOP Rep. Barry Fleming, is using phrases like “common-sense” and “restoring confidence” and “security measures” to frame a measure that House Democrats plan to oppose in unison as a sweeping rollback in voting rights. #gapol
Rep. Calvin Smyre, Dean of the Georgia House and one of the most respected people in this building: “This is a step in the wrong direction. I strongly believe it’s time that we encourage every citizen to participate in the truest sense of citizenship - and that’s voting.” #gapol

The Jolt: Georgia Democrats and their allies play hardball to derail GOP voting restrictions as House lawmakers prepare to vote on new limits. A closer look at the multilayered campaign: #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
“Now is the time for action.” Georgia NAACP president @iMajorWish is urging the state’s corporate giants to speak out against GOP voting restriction proposals. #gapol
Outnumbered Democrats can’t stop the measure or others, including separate legislation that would end no-excuse absentee voting, if ruling Republicans continue to stay together. But they intend to exact a price. #gapol

Fulton DA Fani Willis tells @maddow the criminal investigation into Trump’s efforts to overturn Georgia’s election “seems that it will go past just this one phone call” to Secretary of State Raffensperger. #gapol
Willis: “What I know about investigations is they're kind of like peeling back an onion. And as you go through each layer, you learn different things. To be a responsible prosecutor, you must look at all those things in an investigation, to be fair to everyone involved.” #gapol

Georgia Republicans are preparing for a potential rematch between @GovKemp and @StaceyAbrams with the launch today of a “Stop Stacey” group aimed at thwarting her likely 2022 bid. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
The group was formed by allies of Kemp and former U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler even before she’s announced whether she’ll run again, a sign of deep concern among Republicans about the threat she poses to the first-term governor next year. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
.@staceyabrams' top aide responds: "Rather than a desperate distraction, perhaps they can #StartServingGeorgians." #gapol

Georgia lawmaker booted from chamber for failing to get COVID-19 test #gapol ajc.com/politics/georg…
State @RepDavidTClark tells me he’s considering legal action after he was booted from the Georgia House for failing to take a coronavirus test —
and that he plans to return tomorrow. #gapol
From House Speaker David Ralston’s spokesman:
“The member will be allowed to return upon complying with the policy for the safety of all those who have to come to the Capitol.
 
This is about preventing the spread of a disease that has killed more than 12,000 Georgians.” #gapol
