Georgia Voters Split Over How to Strengthen Democracy

September 22, 2024 · 7:51 am ET · Leave a Comment

“Americans in this closely divided state have heard perhaps more than others about allegations of rigged elections and threats to democracy. Georgia’s 2020 election results were deeply contested, and state voting laws have been fiercely debated ever since,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“But the notion that democracy might be on the line this fall means different things to Republican and Democratic voters.”

“Democrats here say Donald Trump is a threat to norms in American politics, pointing to his conduct after the 2020 election, particularly in Georgia. Republicans point to the same election and say Democrats are changing the fabric of the country, including by abetting widespread fraud in elections, though there is no evidence of that.”
