This week former President Trump publicly called for terminating the Constitution. This is not what the people want, as evidenced by Democrat incumbent Raphael Warnock defeating the Trump-backed Republican candidate Herschel Walker in the Georgia runoff last night.
Today we celebrate the record-breaking voter turnout in Georgia with this poster and quote from Molly Ivins, the beloved progressive journalist and writer from Texas. We are thrilled that Warnock won, but the fact that the election was so close shows how much work is still needed to preserve and strengthen our democracy.
