Georgia's Asian American voter rates hit record high. How voting bill threatens progress. excerpt: "Critics said that the bill — which was fast tracked through the state House and Senate and signed by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in just over an hour — was passed without public notice to advocates or voters. The sweeping legislation criminalizes "line warming," the practice of offering food and water to voters waiting to vote, and allows the Georgia Legislature to take power from local boards of election. In regards to absentee and early voting, the earliest date a voter can request a ballot is 11 weeks ahead of an election, less than half the time before the law. And the deadline to complete the ballots has been moved up as well. Both requesting and returning ballots requires identification, such as a driver's license number, state ID number or a copy of an acceptable voter ID. The restrictions on absentee voting, Nguyen said, are particularly concerning given that Asian Americans voted by mail at the highest rate compared to all other racial groups in the general election. Voting data from November showed that in 13 of the most contested battleground states, including Georgia, AAPI early and absentee voting rose almost 300 percent from 2016. Nguyen further pointed out that any laws that make voting more challenging have a particularly amplified impact on those who are limited English proficient, or people who have difficulty communicating in English. The Asian American population has some of the highest rates of limited English proficiency. And according to Pew Research, Asian Americans are the only group made up of a majority of naturalized immigrants, who account for two-thirds of the electorate."
The Georgia election bill lacked an opportunity for public discourse. The Georgia house and senate passed it along party lines. Kemp signed the bill within two hours of its passage. The state legislature will now appoint someone to be the chair of the state election board, a move that seemingly tries to quell the frustration felt by the GOP when the elected secretary of state Raffensperger (chair of election board) didn't yield to Trump's pressure phone call to overturn the election. The bill lacked a financial analysis, which may cause problems later during elections due to lack of proper funding to implement it. Georgia Gov. Kemp signs GOP election bill amid an outcry | WGN-TV excerpt: "One of the biggest changes gives the GOP-controlled legislature more control over election administration, a change that has raised concerns among voting rights groups that it could lead to greater partisan influence. The law replaces the elected secretary of state as the chair of the state election board with a new appointee of the legislature after Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger rebuffed Trump’s attempts to overturn Georgia’s election results. It also allows the board to remove and replace county election officials deemed to be underperforming. That provision is widely seen as something that could be used to target Fulton County, a Democratic stronghold covering most of Atlanta, which came under fire after long lines plagued primary elections over the summer."
Former Trump aides are reportedly frustrated he didn't become vaccine 'salesman-in-chief' as planned excerpt: ""Someone joked and said, 'Have you ever seen him wear a short sleeved shirt in public?'" a former administration official told Politico. "'I don't think that's going to happen.'" It was later revealed in March that Trump actually quietly received the vaccine off camera before he left office — and not only did the White House not tell anyone, but Politico says top health officials and aides didn't even know this was happening at the time Read more at Politico" .
