Voting rights groups are warning that early voting site closures in Georgia are limiting Black and Latino turnout in the state s two highly-anticipated Senate runoff elections even as a federal judge on Monday ordered two counties to reverse a decision purging more than 4,000 voters from the rolls.
Election officials in Hall County, which is located about an hour northeast of Atlanta and includes Gainesville, have opened four early voting sites, down from eight locations in the November election. The county is home to more than 200,000 people, nearly 40% of whom are Latino or Black. Multiple advocacy groups said that the closures were centered in areas with large Black and Latino populations, HuffPost reported.

Failed Georgia Governor candidate Stacey Abrams unveiled her “plans” to become the President of the United States within 2020 years Friday; telling a reporter she’s “very pragmatic.”
“Do you think the country will elect a woman president in the next 20 years?” asked reporter Clare Malone.
“Yes, absolutely,” Abrams said.
“Yes, absolutely,” Abrams fired-back.
“Yes, I do. That’s my plan. And I’m very pragmatic,” Abrams replied.
“Abrams has never held an office higher than a seat in the Georgia House of Representatives, although she did spend several years as a member of the Democratic leadership of that body. Abrams gained national fame for her contentious election against Kemp in 2018 a race that was seen as a potential bellwether for Republicans in right-leaning states nationwide during what was a wave election year for Democrats,” reports Fox News.

Rev. James Woodall, the president of the Georgia chapter of the NAACP, on Wednesday said he was resigning from his position on a bipartisan election task force created by Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
Woodall told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution he thought the task force, created in October, was a farce and an opportunity for Raffensperger to play both sides.
Raffensperger has refuted President Donald Trump s baseless claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election, eliciting anger from his Republican colleagues, but has drawn the ire of Democrats for attacks on Stacey Abrams and investigations into left-leaning organizations.
