A trio of lawsuits against Georgia’s new voting restrictions are well founded—but face an uphill battle. My ⁦@TheEconomist⁩ analysis economist.com/united-states/…
There are three main headwinds:
1. a kneecapped Voting Rights Act w/ a vestigial Section 5 as a result of the Shelby County decision in 2013
2. Uncertainty over the meaning of section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, the remaining teeth in the law which could be knocked out or filed down by a pending case that SCOTUS is set to decide in the coming months.

Two weeks after our 13-y-o started feeling crummy, some guidance & reflections on quarantining with a teenager diagnosed with covid-19.
It started as a minor headache on Feb. 28, three days after her middle school re-opened. She felt worse at school the next day and skipped gymnastics in the afternoon. We got her a rapid test. It was positive.
Mobilizing to care for her while shielding big sister, little sister and my wife, got some mixed msgs. Pediatrician and our primary care doc gave different instructions. We sided with the more conservative 14 days of isolation for her and 10 days quarantine for the other gals.
