Georgia’s new voting laws made absentee voting more difficult and some forms of voting, such as mobile voting run by Fulton County, outright illegal.

More than half of Georgia’s absentee votes in 2020 came from just 8 of its 159 counties. See if you notice any patterns.

GA counties w/half of absentee votes:
1) Cobb County: 28.8% black
2) Fulton County: 44.5% black
3) DeKalb County: 54.8% black
4) Gwinnett County: 29.8% black
5) Chatham County: 41.2% black
6) Cherokee County: 7.7% black
7) Clayton County: 72.8% black
8) Forsyth County: 4.4% black

In addition, the new Georgia Voting Law makes provisional voting nearly impossible. In 2020, 11,120 provisional ballots were cast in Georgia in the Presidential Election. The state was only decided by 11,779 votes.

The majority of these provisional ballots were cast in just 3 counties. Let's see if we can spot another pattern:

1) Fulton County - 44.5% black
2) DeKalb County - 54.8% black
3) Spalding County - 34.9% black

Like maps? Me too. Here's some maps that explain aspects of Georgia's voting law.

Here's where most people in the state of Georgia who are old enough to vote live.

The map on the right is where most people in Georgia who are old enough to vote and are black live.

The map on the right is where most of the absentee votes which were cast in Georgia in the 2020 Presidential election were cast.

The map on the right is where most of the provisional votes which were cast in Georgia in the 2020 Presidential election were cast.

And the map on the right is where all of the mobile voting, which the new Georgia law outlawed (even though it was run by the county that is home to Georgia's Capitol), took place.
