Close to 100,000 #Voter Registrations Were #Challenged in #Georgia — Almost All by Just Six #RightWing Activists

Moore v. Harper will be argued before the Supreme Court on December 7. The case involves the Independent State Legislature Theory. The outcome will substantially effect the electoral process in this country. This is a complicated but important case. The time to research and understand the potential impact of a forthcoming ruling is now.
