Republicans and major companies. It has led to a furious exchange of charges and countercharges,

sometimes about basic facts.

This morning, I want to try to clarify the fight, by focusing on a few overarching points.

Make voting harder

The Georgia law is part of an ongoing effort by the Republican Party to make voting more difficult,

mostly because Republicans believe they win when turnout is low.

There is no accurate way to describe this effort other than anti-democratic.

The Republican Party’s justification is “election integrity” — that is, stopping voter fraud. But voter

fraud is exceedingly rare. There is no reason to believe it has determined the outcome of a single U.S.

election in decades. If anything, the most high-profile recent examples of fraud have tended to involve

Republican voters. Yet former President Donald Trump and other Republicans have repeatedly and

falsely claimed otherwise.

In truth, the spate of “election integrity” laws over the past decade are mostly a response to Barack

Obama’s presidential victories. They created a consensus, among both parties, that Democrats

benefited from high turnout (which may not be true). Republicans in many states have responded by

trying to make voting harder, especially in cities and heavily Black areas — through onerous

identification requirements, reduced voting hours, reduced access to early voting and more.The new Georgia law largely fits this pattern. It is a response by Republican legislators and Gov. Brian

Kemp to their party’s close losses there in the 2020 elections. The law reduces hours for absentee

voting, increases ID requirements, and limits the distribution of water and food to voters waiting in

line.

One provision seems obviously targeted at Atlanta, the Democrats’ most important source of votes: a

new limit on absentee-ballot drop boxes. It is likely to reduce the number of drop boxes in

metropolitan Atlanta to fewer than 25, from 94 last year. (My colleagues Nick Corasaniti and Reid

Epstein have written a helpful summary of the law.)

“There is no rational motivation for the passage of its new election law other than demonstrating

fealty to the false claims elevated by Trump,” The Washington Post’s Philip Bump wrote. Perry Bacon

Jr. of FiveThirtyEight put it this way: “The enactment of this law in that state is a particularly alarming

sign that the Republican Party’s attacks on democratic norms and values are continuing and in some

ways accelerating.”
