Blocking The Ballot Box: The Republican War On Voting Rights, Brendan Williams
Blocking The Ballot Box: The Republican War On Voting Rights, Brendan Williams
William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice
This Article addresses threats to the right to vote that have arisen since 2018, when voter suppression efforts were key to denying Stacey Abrams, the Black Democratic nominee, victory over Republican Brian Kemp in the Georgia gubernatorial race, while Kemp, in administering his own election while Georgia’s Secretary of State, “laid out a chilling blueprint of voting suppression for other states to follow.”

Yet despite widespread agreement on the likelihood of another national meltdown, neither courts nor scholars have developed consistent principles for resolving the errors that cause the chaos.
