Park Cannon, D-Atlanta, is placed into the back of a Georgia State Capitol patrol car after being arrested by Georgia State Troopers at the Georgia State Capitol Building in Atlanta, Thursday, March 25, 2021. The Black state representative was arrested after knocking on Kemp’s office door while protesting the bill.
Park Cannon Friday was also upsetting for Wallace. You’re supposed to be making it easier for people to vote, not harder.” “What in their mind would think that it’s not right to give a thirsty person some water, in any situation, whether they’re voting, or whatever. “The part about not being able to give people water, the part about not feeding people, like what is that?” Wallace said. The law includes new voter identification requirements for absentee ballots, empowers state officials to take over local elections boards, limits the use of ballot drop boxes and makes it a crime to approach voters waiting in line to give them food and water. Kemp said the law will “ensure elections in Georgia are secure, fair, and accessible.” Republicans have defended the new law, dubbed Election Integrity Act of 2021, saying it’s required to boost confidence in voting after last year’s election. The plantation features a slave cabin that was built in 1840, it says. Job Callaway built a log cabin on the property in 1785, which grew to a 3,000-acre working plantation by the 1860s, according to the plantation’s website. “The painting was selected by the Georgia Council for the Arts’ ‘Art of Georgia’ program which rotates different pieces of art for display throughout the state capitol.” “The house in the painting was built in 1869, after the abolition of slavery,” she said. In a statement to CNN, Mallory Blount, press secretary for the governor’s office, said news of the painting was an attempt by the media to “distract” from the new law.
