Re Georgia, a lot of the people attacking the law have shifted from the discussing the details (where their attacks have fallen apart) to demand we argue the context. I don't think it makes sense for context or motives to supersede the actual details of the law, but...
if you're going to focus on context, you can't ignore the context of a candidate losing decisively in GA, then inventing a bunch of lies about the system to suggest they didn't lose and justify not conceding.
That happened in 2018 and helped lead to some of these provisions.

(and yes it happened again in 2020 on the other side)
The reality is both of those elections and the partisan reactions that followed contributed to some of the changes, but many of those changes make sense and improve the process while ensuring security.

And yes, there are some provisions that are questionable and I would like improved, but that's how laws work. GA still has more voter access than overwhelming majority of states & the demagoguery is exhausting. The voters will decide upcoming elections, not anything in this law.
