take apart the voting right acts since a lawyer in the reagan administration. iky think of a single one of the five prrepublicans on the supre court that supports the intent of voting rights acts. what are the chapses this goes to the supreme court voters of georgia won t be dealt another blow by the scotus? you know in 2013 in the shelby county case, of course, this court prior to the addition of the more conservative kavanaugh actually helped gut the voting rights act. i don t know we will fare any better, but julie, voting starts in georgia on monday. october 15th. early voting starts on monday. so i don t know that this will be resolved. hopefully in the future it will be, but our only hope at this point, you need to remember that in georgia for the past several gubernatorial races and past several senates state-wide races, only 200,000 votes difference with all of these millions of people voting, only
