The Washington Post ran an article on the surge in early voting in Georgia, which was supposed to be in the grips of Jim Crow 2.0. It ended with this anecdote:
Patsy Reid — 70 years old, Black and retired — said she was surprised she didn’t encounter problems when she voted early this month. Reid cast her ballot for Abrams in the Democratic primary but feared that her vote could be discounted given reports of voter suppression against people of color in Georgia.
“I had heard that they were going to try to deter us in any way possible because of the fact that we didn’t go Republican on the last election, when Trump didn’t win,” Reid said. “To go in there and vote as easily as I did and to be treated with the respect that I knew I deserved as an American citizen — I was really thrown back.”
As I note in a piece over on the home page, that’s the voice of someone who’s been repeatedly lied to. Of course, the army of disinformation scolds and fact-checkers haven’t been out in force, or out at all, lamenting all the misinformation that was spread from the president on down about the Georgia electoral system.
