I broadly agree with your comment and wanted to add this since it’s a common misconception: Georgia is a purple state with a suppressed vote, not a red state. In addition to gerrymandering and frequent voter roll purges, people in urban areas commonly wait hours in line to vote in fewer polling stations than existed in previous years. And that’s not even taking into account things like criminalizing handing out water to people waiting to vote in line.

There are probably worse states to try to vote, but I wouldn’t think there are that many.

i don't know how many but i do know that texas and arizona by living and trying to vote in them; i also florida is another and that's 2 out of the 4 biggest electoral college states.
