Free And Fair Elections, but not for you-Episode 65

For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise. Galatians 3:26-29

“The right to vote is the crown jewel of American liberties, and we will not see its luster diminished.” Ronald Reagan

The NYT's @Nate_Cohn says we should set "aside intent" when judging the Georgia voter law.

In my #minirant, I explain why that's "nonsensical," & why setting aside the GOP's *ill* intent, which I document in detail, is “missing the forest for the trees.”pic.twitter.com/IS3hGarD4q
