    Mad that forced you to vote on a glitchy, insecure, paperless 16 year old machine? Tomorrow, potential future voting machines will be displayed by vendors. We must demand a secure, auditable voting system, and follow the recs of elections & security experts.

    To the media outlets (national and in-state) who irresponsibly trumpeted ’s abuse of power as if it were fact, read this piece and learn from your mistakes, because Kemp will repeat his unethical behavior as governor.

    GOP authoritarianism by w/ mention: "deliberate restriction of minority access to the polls has become standard practice. Would Kemp—who oversaw his own election as SOS—have won without these tactics? Almost certainly not."
