As a Georgia resident, what does one *do* about the brewing situation with the state election commission and rule changes? Like, I have no power or influence on anything directly. A lot of people are wary of responding because the response previous legislation seemed to be overreacting. We don't know what local election administrators might do under the new rules but we can see that it exposes the election process, which was fair and efficient and transparent before, to a lot more varieties of objections and influences. It seems to be driven by "election denial" conspiracy theory factions.

Like, we hope it doesn't screw everything up. We hope nobody is able to use it to manipulate results. We spend 4 years harping on about the near-sacred value of trusting election results and processes and now maybe some wrench in the gears that tempts one to challenge that. However, doing so would seem to play into the hands of the "election denial" conspiracy theories, which, the way I see it, are possibly a self-fulfilling prophecy enabled by this series of actions and...

Yeah, what now?
