Why is the left averse to paper ballots? Which Erick Erickson do I address?

Why is the left averse to paper ballots? Which Erick Erickson do I address?

PLUS: Meet coastal Georgia's Patti Hewitt and Cobb-based candidates Danielle Bell (GA-44) and Michael Garza (Cobb School Board)

Georgia’s election system is back under the microscope as Ron asks why the renewed push for hand-marked paper ballots doesn't include anyone on the left, plus examines (ho hum) the latest drama from the Georgia’s State Election Board. The Trumpists on that board insist on making a nothing-burger out of Fulton County's unsigned tabulation tapes, but will they be the ones to force a final (?) recount of the 2020 presidential election?

Later, Ron is joined by Patti Hewitt, executive director of the Coastal Georgia People’s PAC, who explains her grassroots strategy to rebuild Democratic infrastructure in rural Georgia—from protecting the Okefenokee to tackling rising energy costs and health care access.

I can't decide, sometimes, if I can agreeably disagree with Erick Erickson or not, because - at his core - he's a right wing disinformation conduit. Make no mistake - he's no fan of Donald Trump (though he's glad Trump won) - but for someone who proclaims to be driven by his faith, he A) calls a progressive podcaster (Jennifer Welch) "horse face" and B)sort of loses sight of the apt analogy presented when protestors confronted a purported (DHS doesn't reveal agents' identities) ICE agent who ministers in the Minneapolis area. It also begs the question: why does Erick think a church isn't the place to make people a little uncomfortable when that's exactly what a minister's supposed to do with his congregation? Also, why didn't think ordained minister use the opportunity bring people together? Lastly, how can I loathe Erick when he occasionally "broke clocks" his way into being (somewhat) right about young male isolationism? Again, though, when your base sneers at people who put "COEXIST" decals on their cars and is the party of "white flight," home schooling and/or private schooling, aren't you contributing to this sociological epidemic?

Ron spotlights collaboration on the ground with Danielle Bell, a candidate for State House District 44, and Micheal Garza, running for Cobb County School Board, as they team up to connect policy, schools, and families and even campaign events.
