1/Agreed. It's hard to overstate the significance of the GA provisions that enable state legislators to interfere in the administration of the elections. While some pundits may tell you that the final product wasn't as bad as it could have been, that's frankly little consolation.

2/Don't agree with me? Ask other current or former local election administrators & see what they think if they were subject to these same or similar provisions. I'm a former one and I can't see how such provisions help foster better, non-partisan administration of our elections.
3/Election officials largely did a great job conducting #election2020, often with limited resources. Going forward, they will need more resources to meet the evolving risks to their election systems and ensure that future elections are secure as well.
4/But if state legislators can interfere in their work in a manner akin to what GA just adopted, that could throw a real wrench into election administrators' efforts to conduct secure elections, no matter how much money they're given. That's unacceptable and unconscionable.
