More from Ari Berman (who wrote the book on the subject).

"The Georgia bill, one of 250+ bills being considered by GOP in 43 states that would make it harder to vote, was passed one day after Mitch McConnell claimed in a Senate hearing that "states are not engaging in efforts to suppress voters whatsoever'"https://t.co/wn070q1yck

This is happening on 56th anniversary of Selma to Montgomery march for voting rights & murder of civil rights activist Viola Liuzzo. History repeating itself in all the wrong ways
