It IS! In its history, Georgia has been the "poster child" for voter suppression, by Democrats (or "Dixiecrats") through a lot of the 20th century, and then when things flip-flopped and the Republicans took over--same wine, different bottles. It's why Abrams' efforts of voter registration, and its resulting flipping of GA to blue, is SO noteworthy. It is showing just how important allowing the electorate to register AND vote really is, especially in the South. These are some of the "cracks" in the Republican walls of voter suppression and domination down here.

I'm nominating her as St. Stacey!
