It's really not as bad as the media tells you. Every one of my Black friends and acquaintances have voted in most every election without any difficulty.
I'm probably overly cynical, but I can't help thinking the GA Republicans be like "Why not let 'em vote? We can just declare Fulton County corrupt, and cancel them out."
I do have my concerns regarding that, but considering the size of Fulton, I think if they do try that, there will be more than just riots in the street.
It's more likely that their little game is to try and dissuade people from voting. There have always been people in Georgia who feel their vote doesn't count. The Republican scare tactics may make more Democrats feel it's not worth voting.
If they do try to overturn the election, it will go to the courts, which so far have not allowed the Republicans to get away with such shit.
There are also lots of huge corporations in Fulton who employ lots of Democratic voters. I'm not sure the Republicans want to mess with Coke or CNN, among others. Some of these companies have threatened to leave the state if the Republicans try to overturn an election. Some of the corporate world has higher moral values than the Republicans.
