Important thread. This is why what happened in Georgia is so important. The lesson many Repubs seem to have taken from 2020 was not, “don’t try to overturn the election results,” but, “let’s make sure the system is set up so we can actually execute the overturning next time.” — PolitiTweet.org

The people who have to wait in line the longest to vote in Georgia are disproportionately black. The law makes it illegal for groups to provide water to people waiting in line to vote. So race is relevant here. — PolitiTweet.org

Toomey is retiring. So his defenses of the GOP election-rigging agenda are not because of pressure from the base. It looks like to be a credible figure within the GOP, you are now basically required to defend laws like the one in Georgia. — PolitiTweet.org

We looked at how presidential approval, presidential voting and the House popular vote were so tied together in 2018 and 2020. Biden has a 55 percent approval rating right now. Democrats probably need him to stay in that range to keep the House and Senate. https://t.co/GmistevRJ2 — PolitiTweet.org
