Protesters filled the meeting room of the Spalding County Board of 
Elections in October,
upset that the board had disallowed early voting on Sundays for the Nov. 2 
municipal
election. A year ago, Sunday voting had been instrumental in boosting 
turnout of Black
voters.

But this was an entirely different five-member board than had overseen the 
last election.
The Democratic majority of three Black women was gone. So was the Black 
elections
supervisor.

Now a faction of three white Republicans controlled the board – thanks to 
a bill passed by
the Republican-led Georgia legislature earlier this year. The Spalding 
board’s new chairman
has endorsed former president Donald Trump’s false stolen-election claims 
on social media.
