The GOP is trying really hard to turn Georgia purple.

It is absolutely disgusting to charge protesters with RICO charges for protesting regardless on which side of the fence you sit on Cop City. Frankly, the judges should throw out the cases immediately and should have sooner.

Dude, it's blue. It's gerrymandered to hell. The GOP suppresses voter turnout in every conceivable manner just to maintain power.
