At the same time, small rural counties were required to ADD at least one dropbox. The result: a big reduction in dropboxes in urban non-white counties to 55,862 voters per dropbox. In the remainder of Georgia, 65% white, only 18,000 voters must share a dropbox, a 314% difference.

The cause of this drop-off? #SB202 limits dropboxes to no more than 1 per 100,000 active voters. This limit affects ONLY the 4 large Greater Atlanta (59.7% non-white) counties. The law shuttered 77% of Atlanta-area dropboxes, declining from 107 to 25. https://www.gregpalast.com/justice-dept-told-to-end-georgia-dropbox-segregation/

From the 2020/2021 elections to November 2022, mail-in ballots in #Georgia plummeted by over 1 million, a breathtaking 81% loss of ballots — concentrated in Black-majority urban counties. https://www.gregpalast.com/mail-in-ballots-in-georgia-plunged-by-1-million-2/

The people we spoke to in #Atlanta told us that the lines have tripled, not because of higher voting but because it was a practical impossibility under the new law to mail in your ballot. #SB202 https://www.gregpalast.com/raphael-warnocks-in-real-trouble/
