Ari Berman, senior reporter for Mother Jones, talks with Rachel Maddow about how the most nefarious part of the new Republican election law in Georgia is the way it entrenches the state legislature's power over every aspect of how the state's elections are run. Aired on 03/26/2021.

Georgia Republicans Concentrate Control Over How Elections Are Run | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
I really want to see them try to arrest someone for giving someone else water. And they call themselves Christians.
@warpedjaffas1 LOL was thinking the same thing. Bottled water and PB&J sandwiches for a Penny!
They only believe in ‘Republican Jesus’. Not the actual one.
@Mistair Arts Very good point. On the other hand, we’re not a Christian nation. We have the right to believe or not believe in whatever religion we want. Also seperation of Church & state. Not supposed to make laws based on religion. I’m Jewish/agnostic. I don’t want the GOP pushing their beliefs on to me.
@Sabrina Seiderman
And that’s the point… We are not a Christian nation.
Every one of them has forgotten what it means that this is a Constitutional government. The People’s vote is what matters, not their personal power… But the Georgia legislators are taking personal power, by changing the laws just to suit their own ends… And that is the problem.
If my mother or father or anyone of my family or any other person standing in to vote in a 90 or 100 degree whether and they’re asking for water or food, I guarantee you that they’re going to get whatever they are asking for.
This ain’t American anymore we are slowly turning into Russia
Imagine if republicans put this much effort into running our country.
The Republican voters in Georgia don’t seem to realize they will go for the Democrats voting rights first then they will go for theirs and then they will come for their guns
@James Ricker
What are you talking about? Geez!
@James Ricker REASONABLE Folks “Should” be able to see the Similarities..
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
The way for evil to succeed is for good people to stand back and do nothing. I truly do stand behind your statement 👍👍
I came in my Father’s name , and you would not receive me. Another will come in his own name, and him you will receive. John 5:43
The Little Horn = Trump.
Chose Christ not Trump.
So , whoever has control of the statehouse & governorship , has control over the elections ? If so , Georgia gotta go blue , so big & so hard , them boyz runnin home with tails btwn their legs .
I sincerely hope so.
Giving the government the power to decide who governs is antithetical to democracy.
It must be illegal. Georgia is still part of the Land of the Free, isn’t it? Hard to tell sometimes. Maybe that Flag of the Confederacy state banner carries more weight than I thought.
What? These people were voted in under the same practices they are changing.
These congressional officials didn’t hatch, they were elected by the people.
Makes one wonder how many R. States, over the years, have manipulated and cheated during Elections! I would like to see ALL States regularly do Recounts to expose any discrepancies!
Yes i agree with you nice word
All the time! Why wouldn’t they . It’s corrupt republicans we’re talking about.
Starting with Mitch and Lindsay
This should make it easier for Un Patriotic Republicans to cheat in Georgia.
As intended.
The fallout will come back to bite them soon just watch
Absolutely and they themselves will come cry when they are not in power to change it.
BUT THE TARGETING OF THE VOTERS WHO VOTED FOR BIDEN!
As i said before, it’s not only about winning the Senate race, it’s removing the GOP from all local, state, Federal office! Don’t vote for them and vote for people who actually will look out for their constituents and not only their party , a conman and their pocketbooks.
🎯 Absolutely right!
MAYBE WE CAN HAVE CHEATING RUBY AND HER SISTA AND FRIENDS TO RUN!!! THEY WERE PAID 100 BUCKS AN HOUR TO CHEAT!!! FORENSIC AUDITS GOING ON IN MANY STATES!!!!
@sherri burleigh QANON
@Hankakah NO….JUST STATING REAL FACTS….WATCHED AND HEARD IT MYSELF, KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FORENSIC AUDITS GOING ON RIGHT NOW IN MANY STATES……I AM FAR FROM QANON HONEY! LOL!!
@sherri burleigh Only those who try to force their opinions on others type in all CAPS! You have not learned that it’s the same as shouting? The fact that you do so, this is what others see, they blah blah blah. They skip right over it.
When they find that there aren’t 8 million votes that Trump lost by, let us know. The only ones who voted twice, or dead people voted, or dogs animals, or ballots thrown in a river were by REPUBLICANS and a QANON postal worker. In Georgia they counted the ballots 3 times! You think forensic audits will find votes? HAHAHAHA
In Australia on election day regardless of ones politics they hand out for free what is affectionately known as a “democracy sausage” at polls.
yes thats right…all parties put their ideas and policies forward and everyone has to vote…true meaning of democracy
@c li but if you have none, then you cheat
If Manchin and Sinema refuse to end or reform the filibuster, they’ll be personally responsible for the end of the US as a Democracy.
@Albert Brammer Well said. Scary numbers
The GOP is already a fascist party.
As a Canadian watching all this I pray it won’t come to that. I’d hate to think we’d be left the only democracy in North America.
@Nuclear Christian
I don’t think it’ll come to that. The Republicans may think they’re owning “sleepy Joe”, but in Yamamoto’s words, I think they’ve awakened a sleeping Giant.
@Kevin Skiles I hope you’re right. Got to admit I liked the fire in his eyes when he ripped into the Republicans. Or, as I’ve seen them called, the Republikkkans. And I liked your Yamamoto quote. Recently watched a biography on his life and death.
Time for companies to boycott this state. Unfortunately only money talks, there
Yes i agree with you nice word
brilliantly said, ty both. exactly, it is the beginning of the gqp’s attempt to bring back full-on jim crow, in all aspects.
Yes i agree with you nice word
I see a lawsuit against Georgia coming.
Yes i agree with you nice word
I’m thinking a lot more than one
“The statements I made cannot be believed by a reasonable person. Yes, the same statements I presented as facts in court to judges for months.” -Sidney Powell
So if it’s illegal to give out free water, can’t they just charge 1 cent? Then it’s not free.
And carry a Take A Penny Leave A Penny tray too.
@Adrian Colley great idea
Wow just when you think we are getting to the United States of America Republikkkens f it up!
Goodbye to “The Land of the Free”
Welcome to “The Land of the Slaves”
Thanks Republicans
They don’t care, they’re power and wealth whores!
I’m hoping by the time all the investigations of the GOP is over , they won’t be able to get anything done , hopefully they will end up in prison with ” the other guy ” !!!
Filibuster here , filibuster there … Your “Two party system” has never been a real democracy .
