I have come around to believing that Georgia needs to be contested by Democrats, but I could still see the GOP narrowly succeeding here almost entirely because of the voting shenanigans we saw on Tuesday having the potential to repeat itself.
The "shenanigans" that occurred on Tuesday largely had absolutely nothing do with the Secretary of State's office or the GOP broadly-speaking. While this doesn't apply to the relatively large sum of people who never received their mail ballots (this time, it was handled by SoS), the lines, missing equipment, faulty machinery and general lack of skill was entirely on county boards of election and precinct workers.
I've been meaning to do an autopsy on it, but needless to say there were/are several verification steps and choke-points in between the SoS and local elections officials that put the burden squarely on the latter: sheer incompetence at its finest rather than malicious intent.
So it was like a Brenda Snipes scenario? Why did Scott never get blamed for voter suppression?
Isn't the SoS also in part responsible for the training for county-level election employees?
