The DOJ’s voting rights suit against Georgia does not address the parts of GA’s new law allowing a GOP takeover of bipartisan county election boards. Thankfully, a suit filed by @MarilynRMarks1’s nonprofit @CoalitionGoodGv does address them. #gapol 1/

Are Rs better strategists or better cheaters?

“GOP strategist Patrick Bainter operates in shadows”

The Florida GOP has “dominated statewide politics for the past two decades, despite Ds having the advantage in the # of registered voters in Florida.” 1/ jacksonville.com/news/20190119/…
2/ Bainter was involved in Florida’s 2012 gerrymandering scandal.
3/ “‘Bainter … acted in concert with the Legislature to produce individual districts & an overall redistricting map favorable to the Republican Party…, in violation of the Florida Constitution redistricting standards,’ an opinion by Florida Supreme Court…said.”

If Georgia’s new county election board takeover provisions concern you, pls support @CoalitionGoodGv, which is the only organization challenging them in court. Otherwise, we will likely be stuck with those provisions. Note that @ReverendWarnock is up for re-election in 2022. 2/

The DOJ’s lawsuit against Georgia’s voter suppression bill is crucial. But it does not address the election board takeover provisions. The only lawsuit that does was filed by @MarilynRMarks1 & her nonprofit @CoalitionGoodGv. 1/
For those who are interested in the legal grounds for her challenge of SB202 and related details, here is the full interview. In my opinion, her legal theories are brilliant. 2/
3/ You can support Marilyn Marks's nonprofit, the Coalition for Good Governance (CGC), here. They are doing truly remarkable work. It was the CGC that obtained the landmark ruling that Georgia's old paperless voting machines were unconstitutional. coalitionforgoodgovernance.org/donate/

There are now 8 lawsuits challenging Georgia's voter suppression bill (SB202), including the new DOJ lawsuit.
"We are the only one addressing what we think is the most dangerous provision of SB202, the [election board] takeover provisions." - @MarilynRMarks1 #SB202 #gapol 1/
2/ You can listen to my full interview of @MarilynRMarks1 of @CoalitionGoodGv
here. We discuss her lawsuit challenging the takeover provisions and other aspects of SB202. Again, hers is the only suit challenging those provisions. The DOJ lawsuit does not.
