Thinking today about how Georgia is the one in our neighborhood that is trending blue and also Georgia has early voting. I wonder a lot what voting would look like in Alabama if we had something even that helpful.

Over 100,000 people have already voted today in Georgia in the first day of in-person voting.

Unfortunately, Georgia's political shift isn't due to voting logistics, but rather the changing demographics of the electorate from 3-4 decades of more diverse/liberal in-migration to the state (primarily metro Atlanta). Lots of observant folks saw it coming 20+ years ago.

Alabama absolutely should have early voting like the overwhelming majority of states, but what the state really needs is about a million less conservative folks to make it their new home.

all the demographic changes in the world won't fix it if people can't vote, though. this is not an either/or, it's a yes/and.
