Good evening. Im erin burnett. Our democracy on the line is the quote from former President Barack Obama Tonight as he says the united states must protect Voting Rights or Americas Democracy could be destroyed invoking the January 6th insurrection to make a point. The violence that occurred in the u. S. Capitol on January 6th, just a few months ago should remind us that we cant take our democracy for granted. Around the World Weve seen once vibrant democracies go into reverse. Walking in power for autographs and Business Interest and blocking out of the political process, protesters and Opposition Parties and the voices of ordinary people. It is happening in other places around the world and these impulses have crept into the united states. We are not immune from some of these efforts to weaken our democracy. Those words come as the fight over Voting Rights comes to ahead in the senate. Senate Majority Leader Chuck schumer vowing to bring a sweeping voting Rights Bill to the floor for a vote, the bill which democrats call for the people act would create automatic Voter Registration and expand access to early and absentee voting. It would also require states to overhaul their Voter Registration systems, limit States Ability to limit People Prom Voting roles, increase federal fund for Election Security and reform the districting process. Democrats say it Life Or Death for democracy. Democrats will bring forward legislation to protect Voting Rights and safeguard our democracy. Our democracy is at stake. We have to do something to fight back. What were trying to do is preserve democracy. The hot rhetoric, though, doesnt add up to the cold, hard reality of votes. Democrats math doesnt add up. They need 60 votes to move ahead tomorrow and not anywhere close and they dont have a single republican and the democratic senator Joe Mansion has yet to back it but indicated hes hopeful that he can get there but well see. Mean while in the State Something that needs urgent attention right now is happening to the former president s point. Local election workers and officials are feeling the brunt of standing up to trumps lie for saying weve counted the votes and in many cases once and twice and three times and here is who won and thats fair and thats right and thats what happened. Just for doing that, theyre getting Death Threats against themselves and their families. Those lies have consequences, as weve seen around the country. As weve seen in washington d. C. As ive seen, you know, outside my house. There are consequences to these lies. That person said enjoy your last birthday cake. This is not acceptable. This is not acceptable behavior to threaten the wives, the children, the family of people that work for the government or even the government workers. Those individuals, along with local officials across the country have been on the front lines coming under attack for speaking the truth. It took a hand full of brave officials in key Swing States to say no to Donald Trumps lies in the november election. Those crucial heroes to stand up and say weve counted the votes and here is the winner. Just for that, they are the heroes who put Americas Democracy first and kept it in tact. But many of these people who stood up to their party like Philadelphia Al Schmidt and Frank La rose and mark, Georgia Secretary of state and georgias Elections Manager Gabriel sterling and Kansas Secretary of state and there are others that may not be household names. Frankly they dont want to be household names. Helen butler are local Election Officials in georgia and both are losing their jobs and being replaced by protrump republicans. To the ire of fellow republicans for standing up to georgias Voting Law and butler, a democrat who is a vocal supporter of expanding Voting Rights is getting booted. Why . Because of the Election Law in georgia that just happened. Brian kemp signed a law that allows republicans to appoint members to local Election Boards. Before the law passed it was a bipartisan decision. Ill speak to them in a moment but first, Manu Raju is outfront live on Capitol Hill and there is aurallmost no chan the bill goes anywhere and Chuck Schumer knows that but going ahead with it anyway. Why . They want to show the democrats are on the same page and make the argument in their view democrats are for expanding access to voting and their arguments republicans are trying to restriktsct access to votingd republicans are arguing this bill the democrats are pushing would amount to republicans say as a federal takeover of the Election System but what is happening now behind the scenes, erin, is a furious effort to get Joe Mansion on board because the concern among democrats is they do lose that one key vote. It will lose that political argument going forward as they head into the midterm election season. So right now, Amy Klobuchar who is a senate Rules Committee Chairwoman is having discussions with Joe Mansion to get him on board. Mansion told me this evening he still has not made a decision whether he will vote to proceed to the Legislation Tomorrow saying he wants to see whether the changes hes proposed including voter i. D. Requirements, including expanding early access to voting as well as other measures such as dealing with partisan jerry bandering, whether that gets included in the bill and the pair of backs significantly the democrats more sweeping proposal that he opposes. Klobuchar told me as she was going in that they worked all through the weekend and into they plan to work into Tonight to try to get an agreement just among democrats but erin, even though they will still there is optimism among the democrats they can get the whole caucus in line, they lack the 6 0 votes needed to overcome a republican filibuster. There wont be any Republicans Tomorrow to move ahead let alone ten, which they would need to overcome a Filibuster And Mansion said repeatedly, he will not change a Filibuster Rule even on this issue to move ahead so it means, erin, almost certainly this is doomed until after next years midterms. All right. Thank you very much, manu. I want to go to the Georgia Election officials losing their seats. The republican Vice Chair of the dekalb county, Georgia Elections board and Helen Butler member of the Georgia Board of elections and registration. Thanks to both of you. Let me start with you, republicans try to replace you as a republican with a local conservative with a history of false statements. I guess when you look at this, do you think your removal could impact the results of the next election or prfrankly, could ha changed the results of 2020 . Erin, thanks for having me on. First of all, yes, it certainly a possibility that real Elections Integrity would be thrown out the window when you start putting some of these dangerous demagogues in the place of individuals who have carried out their duties and under at times great risk to their health and to the livelihoods. I will say this, i dont consider myself a hero. The real heroes are the ones unnamed like you said, the workers, the Poll Election officials, the volunteers, the corporate citizens who, you know, took out their time, spent money to get folks out to the poles. Those are the true heroes. For me, it really is about putting American Democracy first. Why . Because for me, i believe that Voter Access and Elections Integrity are the pillars of functioning democracy and so i refuse, i simply refuse to be a tool for Voter Suppression and Voter Disenfranchisement of our citizens. 45 years ago, my family left saigon before the communists took over vietnam and i was taught never to take out precious freedoms for granted so to me, this is one small token of repayment. Helen, you know, republicans say the changes to these Election Boards are to improve performance. Thats the reason they gave. Improve performance. What do you think that actually really means . Youre being removed. Obviously hes a republican. Youre being removed with others. Why do you think youre really being removed from the Election Board . Is improved performance actually mean . Erin, thank you for having me. I can tell you it is not removed to improve performance. The things that we have advocated for on the Morgan County Board of elections have been access, more access to the ballot box. Having diverse workers, Poll Workers that will actually know how to operate new equipment that we have the new voting machine technology, having enter generational kind of workers. Making sure polling locations are where they should be and having drop boxes. Ive advocated its a big scheme that goes along with the total takeover. The most egregious part of Sb 202 is the Takeover Process where they can take overboards of elections as well as Takeover Election Supervisor responsibilities and take away constitutional responsibilities from the secretary of state. It has nothing to do with performance. Our board was performing. We executed our duties flawlessly and in a nonpartisan way. So it was just a method of taking over in addition to the legislation, the local legislation allows them also to take overboards of elections. I mean, pretty incredible and we should point out bill only came to light, it only came even out there after the Republican Secretary of state of your state said that the election had been won by Joe Biden so then suddenly in this bill, he, that role loses authority to certify. I want to bring up something about the fight in washington. Here is what he said. I think about this. In the aftermath of an insurrection with our democracy on the line and many of the same republican senators going along with the notion that somehow there were irregularities and problems with legitimacy in our most recent election, Therir Suds theyre suddenly afraid to talk about solutions on the floor of the senate. They dont even want to talk about voting. And thats not acceptable. Youre a republican. Why do you think republicans in washington are so opposed to this . So opposed to having a conservation even when you have someone like Joe Mansion say look, we got to put voter i. D. In there, something republicans have long cared about and popular among republican voters. Why are they opposed to a Voting Bill . I think sadly first of all, our republican party is devolved from ideas into a party of Grievance And Personality and this case, the elected officials are afraid that the base who theyre pandering to the accusations and lies Property Kated by the former president will have an undue burden on them being reelected but to me, again, Voter Access and Elections Integrity are the pillars of any strong Ka Demoda Democracy and putting our democracy on the line here. 30 years ago, 40 years ago, nobody did this. When george h. W. Bush lost the election in 1992, he graciously conceded. When Senator John Mccain lost to President Obama in 2008, he graciously conceded. But we are at a point in this nation right now where American Democracy is being undermined by these repeated assaults propagated by these dangerous demagogues and i dont know what else to tell you but, you know, bringing the bad actors like russia and what youve got are some very worrisome times. Helen, you met with the Vice President Kamala Harris to discuss Voting Rights the other day. Do you think the biden administration has a real plan . I mean, i know it important to have the meetings and do that. I dont mean to demean it. There is a difference between having the meetings and saying were going to do something and here is a plan of attack. Does she have one . I believe they have a plan for Voting Rights, and listening to people on the ground to know where it really works, what really needs to be done is a great step. Contrary to what our local elected officials did, they didnt talk to people who are actually doing the work. They decided what they wanted to change, not even looking at the impact of what it might mean. There were a lot of Election Officials who were caught off guard by this bill to take over their functions. Things that they know to do, theyve been doing this for years and they know how it works. So the plan is to have a federal legislation is in place and we definitely need that legislation now. All right. Thank you both very much. I appreciate it. And next, the breaking News Cnn Learning prosecutors could decide whether to indict trumps Chief Financial Officer as soon as next month. Thats nine days from now. Thats when july starts as investigators are looking into another trump secretive and qanons obsession with the Sham Audit and what was taking place ahead of the January 6th insurrection.

[john legends i can see clearly now] make your reunion happen with vrbo. Your together awaits. Vrbo breaking news Tonight, prosecutors could decide if the Organization Allen Weisselberg could face charges as soon as next month. Thats according to a person familiar with the matter. Cnn also learning weisselbergs former Daughterinlaw Jennifer who previously turned over boxes full of financial documents to prosecutors met again with investigators on friday. C given this timeline here, it appears to keep moving closer and closer. It sounds like its pretty dire for Allen Wieisselberg. Yeah, erin, it sounds like the walls are closing in. A source tells cnn prosecutors and investigation is advanced and that they could decide whether or not to bring charges against him as soon as next month. The prosecutors are looking at weisselberg and whether he paid taxes on these corporate perks like a rent free Apartment And Company car but hes not the only one uniter scrutiny. Ing l were also looking at te Trump Organization to lower Payroll Taxes. One of those other employees weve learned Tonight is matthew cale calamari. The chief Operating Officer the Wall Street Journal reporting this today and a source tells cnn the investigation into calamari is not as advanced but this is seeming like its the crux of this investigation with prosecutors focussing in on these corporate benefits and perks. Calamaris lawyer did not respond. Neither of them to date have been charged with any wrongdoing. But erin, this is really the Clock Ticking here because cj vances time is almost up and he can make a decision whether to charge anyone in this case including the Trump Organization or former president before he leaves office. Thank you very much with the new reporting there. I want to go to ellie, senior legal analyst and former assistant u. S. Attorney for the southern district of new york. So you know what is going on. Cara is reporting prosecutors could decide whether or not to indict Allen Weisselberg in nine days. Now, thats just the beginning of the month. I understand can it can go longer. When Cy Vance leaves office, now its summer and july. Does this timeline sound realistic to you . Absolutely, yes, erin. Prosecutors have to be moving as quickly as humanly possible and thinking about end game. First of all, as cara said, Cy Vance has six months left in office and cannot leave this for his replacement that will be brandnew in the office. Second of all, prosecutors have to think about the statute of limitations. You have five years from the time a crime is committed to charge it. This goes to 2016 and before that. Finally, if they do get lucky enough to Flip Somebody of conkck consequence. It takes time. We need to be ready to go as soon as possible. Jennifer weisselberg, allens former daughterinlaw met with investigators multiple times. Shes given them evidence and boxes of documents as you see on those pictures. She was meeting with them again on friday. What does that tell you, ellie . Tells me prosecutors are targeting Allen Wieisselberg an hes the right person to target. If im looking at the Trump Org, my attention goes to him because hes the only member of the real Inner Circle there whose last name is not trump. Hes the only person not related to Donald Trump and the key question for me is what is in those boxes that jennifer W Weisselberg is turning over to prosecutors . Does she have enough evidence to back it up . Right. So okay, ive talked to her about that and she told me as just one example, there were multiple things but one example, she said she haddock documents proved trump paid for her childs 54,000 tuition at a Private School and they are investigating whether other trump employees got benefits to avoid paying Payroll Taxes and all of this would add up to a lot over a lot of people. It would be we would call it sys systemic. One of the individuals is as cara just reported Matthew Calamari trumps former Security Guard and then the chief Operating Officer for the entire company. What does it mean for the investigation if this seems to be the case theyre building this was par for the course . Yeah, couple things. First of all, as a prosecutor, the more lines you put in the more likely you are to Flip Somebody. Also, if they can prove this wasnt just something done for Allen Weisselberg but perhaps for calamari you can argue to a jury this wasnt some Mistake Or Oversight but a pattern, a way of Doing Business inside the Trump Org and that stlrengthens your case as a prosecutor. Appreciate your time Tonight. Thanks, erin. Next, qanon followers now clinging to News President bidens german Sheppard Champ passed away this weekend. Why in the world .

Shifting their attention to the audit in hopes of returning President Trump to the White House as the fbi warns qanon followers could have dangerous behavior instead of continually awaiting qs promised actions, which have not occurred. Joining us outfront youve been reporting on this and how this is playing out among Qanon Supporters and you see a clear parallel to January 6th . Yeah, erin. There is an Anticipation And Energy and obsession frankly much like we saw in the days and weeks leading up to January 6th. This idea that, you know, this is going to be the day that everything is going to change. The election will be overturned, something similar with that, that energy were seeing as we approach the end of this Sham Audit in arizona. Its been something weve been hearing on the road, have a lis listen. Were you disappointed when trump lost the election. I was disappointed in the lack of truth and the Election Fraud that took place within it. Its coming out now in arizona and it will be a Comedomino Eff to the truth. Unless im mistaken, this is the first forensic audit of a president ial election, forensic. So we dont know. Do you genuinely think there is a Possibility Trump could obtain the electoral slight of arizona, yes, thats a possibility. If that happens, could it happen to georgia . Possibly. Possibly. So erin, you can hear there there are people obsessed with this idea that arizona could be the first domino to fall and then the election could get overturned, which of course is false. It is. I mean, you know, as you point out these disturbing parallels, you also see President Trump in a parallel stirring up supporters making this audit a big deal like the January 6th certification. Here is what he said about the audit. Stay tuned for arizona. Its going to be an interesting time in our country, very interesting time. You understand what that means because it will be, you know, i mean, how do you govern when you lost . How do you Golf Vern when you l . I mean, its disturbing and yet, of course, there are people that hear that and believe it. How much are people taking their queues from trump . Thats the most concerning of everything, erin. Weve seen the dates come and go. We knew Qanon Supporters, some of them believed the Inau Inauguration Wouldnt happen and Martial Law would be declared and others believed trump would come back on March 4th but trump didnt endorse the ideas openly. Were seeing now trump, as you can hear there, incredible to hear a former president of the united states talking about, you know, how can his biden govern if he didnt really win the Election And Trump is now out there openly endorsing this idea that the Arizona Audit could be the first domino to fall and thats, i think, a very, very dangerous situation. Yeah. Absolutely. Thank you very much. Thanks. For your reporting on this and i want to go outfront now in Tonights inside look to the author of the storm is upon us how qanon became a movement, Cult And Conspiracy theory of everything that comes out tomorrow. Mike, look, this is crucial for us to understand and read. These audits are the new focus of Qanon Supporters. What are you seeing . Im seeing these audits become the Focal Point for all of this Movements Energy and their desire for great change. You have to understand with qanon, this is a movement. They believe that there will be a great event that only a few select people know about that will sweep away the Corruption And Evil and restore Goodness And Patriotism and for three and a half years, that was the storm that was the great unsealing of indictments, mass arrests of the democrats, of hollywood and big business. Wealthy powerful string pullers who were making everyones lives miserable. Thats not going to happen now. Joe biden is presumably as deep in the deep state as you get and is not going to arrest himself. So what you have now is not a profit of trump getting rid of the bad people but a profit of trump being restored to office. Thats where these people are looking now. The fbi warned, obviously as youre aware that Qanon Believers may carry out more acts of violence and talked about for months the Myanmar Style Coup in the united states which former general flynn encouraged. Here is what some told sullivan at a recent trump rally. It was a false election. So they took over and thats what happened. The military took over. That could possibly happen here, possibly. The military is in control. Thats what theyre working towards. Is that what could happen . It could. Would you like to see it happen . Absolutely. Yes. You know why . The election was stolen from us . The military is doing their own investigation and at the right time they will be restoring the public with trump as president. So mike, do you believe qanon is a real Security Threat at this point . Absolutely. Qanon has been a Security Threat since the very beginning. The very first Q Drop in late October 2017 said that Hillary Clinton was about to be arrested and that the marines and National Guard would be called up to crush the riots that would take place in the wake of that arrest. This is a movement that is always yearned for a kind of Military Dictatorship to take over and get rid of the people that they dislike and a lot of these people are just waiting for it to happen and maybe they make some twitter posts. But a few people are very eager to take it into their own hands and we started seeing it as early as summer 2018 when you had the Hoover Dam blocked by a Qanon Believer general report to be released. That doesnt exist. That came from q. This guy had 900 rounds of ammunition in a home made armored truck. It was a Miracle Nobody was killed when he was arrested. One of the whole premises for q is this belief and this child Pedophile Ring of some sort. Which is really hard stuff to really understand that some would believe this. Youve seen chatter among qanon followers about something that just happened that i want to ask you about because this is really out there. This is yeah the german Sheppard Champ, bidens german Sheppard Champ that died at the familys home in delaware this weekend. This is part of a qanon belief. Qanon operates in a secret language so things that seem very run of The Mill to us like a picture of a dog or a code or a symbol to them its secret communication. They call it coms. This is one of the things that brings qanon people together they have a secret shared language that keeps other people out and so one of the things that has meaning in in secret language are pictures of dogs that were owned by prominent people and those dogs die and when those dogs die, thats supposed to be a code that a high Level Member of the String Polling Kabul has died or is going to be executed and that death will be used as a false flag to perpetrate a terrorist event. It sounds completely bonkers because it is to most people but to people who look at things and see them for what they want to see, it makes perfect sense. Which is why its so terrifying because its not something you can reason with and explain and to somebody who believes it, right . Thats the whole power of it and the problem with it. You tackle this in your book. What advice do you give to people i mean, i know people who have Family Members who they dont know how to deal with anymore or even interact with because their Family Members believe this stuff. What do those families do . The first thing that you do is realize that you are not alone, and whether its qanon, whether its extremism, whether its membership in some kind of violent group, there are a great number of people right now who are meshed in violent Extremist Move thes sments so youre not and youre not the only person this is happening to. If you feel you need to cut off contact with this person, thats within your right to do that to keep you safe. If this is someone you want to reach out to and feel like you might be able to get through to, dont try to debunk it or fact check them out of it or mock them out of it. It will drive them in deeper. Make sure they know youre a safe place and safe person to talk to not about politics or trump but just about shared experiences or things youve enjoyed together. Let them know youre there and if they start to find contradiction in this movement and find a dangling thread and start to pull on it, you can be there for them to help them through it. Appreciate your time. Thank you. I hope everyone reads this book. It has become such a crucial thing for people to understand for all of us. The storm is upon us. Thanks so much. Thank you for having me. Next, an outbreak at a Government Building in florida.

New Tonight, a sixth worker at a county Government Building in Florida Testing positive for coronavirus. This after a covid outbreak left two people dead and three hospitalized in one office in the building. Two dead, three hospitalized. Thats five people. There are only six in the office and the only one not sick was vaccinated. And now it seems to have spread beyond that office in this building, which is now closed. The two people who died were both in their 50s. The youngest of those hospitalized was 40. All five of the cases people were not vaccinated, as i said. Out fronfront now is sky hope. This is a disturbing story, okay . For everyone trying to imagine going back to work and normal life. Thank you for joining me. Im sorry for this because its awful and awful for these families who at this point probably thought this was in the past and in the Rearview Mirror. What can you tell me about the latest confirmed case, which i understand was in the building but outside the exact office of where these i. T. Workers worked. Right. The original six workers five of which had contact with Patient Zero and were all infected except for the one vaccinated individual were on the seventh floor. I was just informed this afternoon that indeed we had another Case Test positive last week working on the same floor but not in the i. T. Department. Ironically, it one of our Cares Worker thats been working to help people with rental assistance. I mean, so, my understanding from what youve said is that the first five cases other than this were mostly healthy. Initial symptom was a simple Sore Throat but days later, two of them are dead and three others are in the hospital. That is really scary. Right . We understand that the new variant going around is more transmissible and deadly. What else do you know about whether these workers had a variant or how they were interacting in this office . Well, from the clinical prese presentation, it certainly appears that way. Patient zero was one of the group of six. Five individuals had direct contact with Patient Zero. All were infected with the exception of the one young man 23 years old who was vaccinated and individuals that had contact with the vaccinated individual also did not also tested negative. Whats unfortunate is that of these five infected cases all of which were either severely ill to the point of hospitalization or death. Actually, four were hospitalized, one of the Hospital Wized Individuals died is deceased and one individual that was not hospitalized is also deceased and its also my understanding this sixth case on the same floor also has been hospitalized. So the clinical presentation gives me concern that were dealing with a very infectious variant that is quite deadly. It would certainly indicate that. I know you havent been able to do Mass Testing but the person we understand has it is another one whose been hospitalized. I know you werent part of the decision when they eliminated protocols for masks and social distancing in florida Government Office was and they sited the wide Spread Availability of vaccines but when i hear this or anyone else is hearing this theyve all been told you have to go back to work and its an Honor System on the vaccine. What do you think the policy should be . This Isnt Something people want to take on an Honor System. If youre coming to work, should it be you have to be vaccinated . Well, ironically, i mean, look, were looking in the Rearview Mirror but at the same time this was taking place, i was an elected official on the School Board and later that week we voted to end the Mask Requirement but it was also the last day of school, but in looking at this, weve encouraged people to get vaccinated, and weve encouraged those that are not vaccinated to wear a mask and not just any mask, an n 95 mask or equivalent that we made available to the employees and visitors. The masks work but the vaccine is more important at this point. I mean, i would hope people understand youre talking about six people, six people getting it now. One of whom was vaccinated is okay. Five hospitalize or dead. I hope if people dont take this seriously, i dont know what they take seriously. I agree. This is a serious concern and the vaccine at least in this case is proven to be effective against this variant and its a variant thats highly contagious and deadly. Scott, appreciate your time thank you very much. Sure, erin, good night. Good night. Next, a Lastminute Twist in one of the most watched mayoral races in the united states.

Ten of those shootings happening this weekend alone. Seven people dead, 45 injured. Among the victims two children, a 10yearold and a 15yearold in dallas. Its a Crisis Coast to coast and its Front And Center in new York City and its mayoral race ahead of the primary election tomorrow. Jason carroll is outfront. I never had a doubt, not one day, that we were not going to win this. Reporter eric adams, the perceived frontrunner in the new York City mayoral race, striking an optimistic tone in the final hours before tomorrows democratic primary. His confidence coming in part from the belief that his anticrime Campaign Message has resonated with voters in a city where shooting incidents are up 64 yeartodate. I am going to show you how to keep a city safe. Without treating people in disgrace. Reporter adams, a retired former captain in the nypd took aim at two other leading mayoral candidates, Andrew Yang and former Sanitation Commissioner Katherine garcia, who in a surprise lastminute move, teamed up over the weekend and campaigned together. Yang announcing garcia is his number two choice for mayor. If you support me, please put Katherine Garcia also on your ballot. Reporter while the two campaigned together and handed out literature with both of their faces, garcia stopped short of coendorsing yang. I am not telling my voters what to do. I want them to get out there and i want them to use the system that we have for ranked choice. As i have said since the beginning, i wouldnt be in this race if i had a solid number too. Reporter for the first time rather than choose just one candidate, new York City primary voters can rank their top five choices for mayor. That way even if a voters top pick doesnt have enough support to win, their rankings of other candidates could end up playing a role in determining a winner. Adams has not had a second choice. For them to come together like theyre doing in the last three days, theyre saying that we Cant Trust a person of color to be the mayor of the city of new york. Reporter Maya Wiley former council to Bill De Blasio took a moment during the final stretch to show off a different set of skills. She issued a statement disagreeing with adams, saying in part Katherine Garcia and Andrew Yang have made a decision to campaign with one another. It is not a decision i would have made. However, this partnership is not racist and we should not be using this term so loosely against other candidates at the end of a long campaign. Erin, just late today adams got a late endorsement from the chair of the democratic congressional campaign committee. The chair of that committee, congressman maloney, as you know, blamed a lot of the losses that they saw in 2020 in House Races on those members of the party who were out there and endorsing defund the police. And so this goaround, theyre getting behind someone who is advocating for more police, not less. Erin. Thank you very much, jason.

Also by this time tomorrow or sometime this week a judge isnt the state of georgia could green light a reexamination of 2020 ballots from in and around
