'Democracy will be on the ballot': Secretary of state races emerge as newest US political flashpoint

By Ellen KurzThe big news from Georgia’s primary election last Tuesday wasn’t who won and who lost. It was the galling meltdown at polling places in black communities across the state.

This year, iVote has a budget of more than twice that amount — $15 million, which it plans to spend on broadcast, cable and digital advertising to bolster its candidates.
