weeks when ossoff and warnock ran. they reduced them to 28 days, because you have to register 29 days before in georgia. so all of this in my mind is to quote a judge from north carolina, done to discriminate with surgical precision to make it harder for people to vote and incredibly confusing. that s what stacey and jeff and i heard from voters here in cobb county. i m at the smyrna community center right now where they had five-hour waits. that s where i am in this building. and tomorrow, we go to the civil rights museum. and we hold our hearing for the first time in two decades to have the rules committee go on the road to get the evidence of what s going on here in georgia. so they literally cut the time to a day difference between registration and another thing
